DNSWatch - DNS Traffic Sniffer and Analyzer

DNSWatch is a powerful packet sniffing tool designed to monitor and analyze DNS (Domain Name System) traffic on a network. This script provides a comprehensive set of features to help users understand and manage DNS activity efficiently. Whether you're a network administrator, cybersecurity professional, or a curious enthusiast, DNSWatch empowers you to gain insights into DNS requests, detect anomalies, and enhance network security.

Features

• DNS Packet Sniffing: The script can sniff DNS packets on the network interface specified by the user.
• Verbose Output: It provides detailed output if the user enables the verbose mode
• Target IP Analysis: Users can specify a target IP address to analyze DNS responses
• DNS Type Analysis: Users can analyze different types of DNS requests.
• DNS over HTTPS (DoH): Users can enable DNS resolution using DNS over HTTPS.
• Target Domain Monitoring: Users can specify a list of target domains to monitor.
• Port Filtering: It supports filtering by source or destination port.
• IP Filtering: Users can filter packets by source or destination IP address.
• DNS Type Filtering: allows users to filter packets by DNS type.
• PCAP File Saving: Users can save captured packets to a PCAP file.
• DNS Firewall Mode: The DNS firewall mode for detecting DNS spoofing attempts.
• Threshold Setting: Users can set the threshold for the number of DNS queries .
• Window Size Configuration: Allows users to configure the window size (in seconds) for monitoring.
• Version Information: Users can check the version of the script.

Requirements

• Python 3.7+
• scapy 2.4.5 or higher
• colorama 0.4.4 or higher

Installation

2. Install the required dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

$ python3 dnswatch.py [-h] [-i INTERFACE] [-v] [-t TARGET_IP] [-d] [--doh] [-D TARGET_DOMAINS [TARGET_DOMAINS ...]] [-p FILTER_PORT] [-s FILTER_SRC_IP] [-r FILTER_DST_IP] [--dns-type DNS_TYPE] [--pcap-file PCAP_FILE] [--firewall] [--threshold THRESHOLD] [--window-size WINDOW_SIZE] [--version]```

1. -i, --interface: Used to specify the network interface to listen on. For example: -i eth0
2. -v, --verbose: Use this flag to get detailed output.
3. -t, --target-ip: Used to specify a specific IP address to monitor. For example: -t 8.8.8.8
4. -d, --analyze-dns-type: Use this flag to analyze DNS types.
5. --doh: Use DNS over HTTPS (DoH) for DNS resolution.
6. -D, --target-domains: Used to specify the target domains to monitor. Accepts a space-separated list of multiple domain names. For example: -D example.com example.org
7. -p, --filter-port: Use this flag followed by a port number to filter by a specific port. For example: -p 53
8. -s, --filter-src-ip: Use this flag to filter by a specific source IP address. For example: -s 192.168.1.1
9. -r, --filter-dst-ip: Use this flag to filter by a specific destination IP address. For example: -r 8.8.4.4
10. --dns-type: Use this flag followed by a DNS type to filter by a specific DNS type. For example: --dns-type 1 (for type A)
11. --pcap-file: Use this flag to save captured packets to a PCAP file. For example: --pcap-file captured_packets.pcap
12. --firewall: Enable DNS firewall mode.
13. --threshold: Use this flag to set the threshold for the number of DNS queries. For example: --threshold 50
14. --window-size: Use this flag to set the window size (in seconds). For example: --window-size 60
15. --version: Use this flag to display the program's version number.
