A versatile open source software to tunnel traffic using DNS servers.
DNScat is a command line tool that provides bi-directional communication through DNS servers, along with PPP, that can be leveraged to create a virtual private network. The idea for DNScat emerged from NSTX, which performs IP tunnelling over DNS. Though the functions of these two programs may seem similar, DNScat boasts a range of design and implementation variances.
Primarily, DNScat is a small program that is written in Java and uses various open-source libraries. As a result, it has an extremely small footprint and has source code which is easy to understand. The developers approached the application in the spirit of Unix tools, which are small, command line-driven, flexible, highly configurable, and, therefore, powerful.
However, before using DNScat, it's essential to note that it's use can be against the policy of your network. You are advised to verify with your network administrator that installing DNScat will not violate any norms. You are solely responsible for any misuse of DNScat, and are authorized to use it solely for educational purposes.
