Toying with DNS

Reference

Abstract

I'd like to talk about the innards of DNS in the context of dns.toys, a tool that delivers low grade compute services over the DNS protocol by stretching its scope. The talk will touch upon:

  1. DNS as a protocol and its structure.
  2. It's simplicity. Peculiarities of a protocol that runs over DNS.
  3. Having fun with it to learn it and in the process, building a FOSS tool that also happens to be widely useful.
  4. Stir imagination of envisioning tools and utilities free from layers of unnecessary abstractions, thinking computing from first principles.
