Vulnerability Development: Re: DNS Version check.

[Joao Gouveia <tharbad () kaotik org>]

Hi,

If you are going to use perl, you might want to take a look at Net::DNS;
e.g.:
<quote>
use Net::DNS;

$res = Net::DNS::Resolver->new;
$res->nameservers("127.0.0.1");
$answer = $res->send("version.bind", "CH", "TXT");
$answer->print;
</quote>
