A lightweight DNS lookup utility for classic Amiga computers.
REQUIREMENTS:
- MC68000 or better
- Kickstart 2.0 or higher
- A TCP/IP stack with bsdsocket.library (AmiTCP, Roadshow, Miami, etc.)
FEATURES:
- DNS query via raw UDP packets (port 53)
- A record (IPv4 address) lookup
- CNAME (canonical name) lookup
- MX (mail exchange) lookup
- PTR (reverse DNS) lookup
- Custom DNS server selection
- Auto-detect DNS server from AmiTCP configuration
- Fallback to 8.8.8.8 (Google DNS)
- Full DNS packet building and parsing
- DNS compression pointer handling
- Pure MC68000 code - no 68020+ instructions
USAGE:
From CLI:
AveHOST aminet.net ; A record lookup
AveHOST -t MX amiga.org ; MX record lookup
AveHOST -t PTR 8.8.8.8 ; reverse DNS
AveHOST -s 1.1.1.1 google.com ; use Cloudflare DNS
OPTIONS:
-t <type> Record type: A, CNAME, MX, PTR (default: A)
-s <server> DNS server IP address
-h Show help
NOTES:
- Builds DNS packets from scratch (no resolver library).
- Default DNS server read from AmiTCP:db/resolv.conf or
ENV:resolv.conf. Falls back to 8.8.8.8 if not found.
CHANGELOG:
v1.1 (28.03.2026)
- Fix: DNS response parsing bounds check prevents crash on malformed replies
LICENSE:
Freeware. Use at your own risk.
