Maybe something like this helps?
tshark -f "udp port 53" -T fields -e frame.number -e dns.qry.name -e dns.resp.name -e dns.resp.addr
- Chris

Also, if I do this:

tshark -f "udp port 53"

I get output like:

14.419251  10.180.2.81 -> 10.141.1.160 DNS Standard query response

Question:  Why doesn’t the line containing the “Standard query response” actually print out the response?

Stuart,

Thanks for the response.  I changed it to tshark –s 512 –V port 53 udp.  I’m still not getting what I want here... Here’s some sample output...

            Name server: B.ROOT-SERVERS.NET

<Lots more of the Authoritative nameserver records follow>
Finally, I get an “Additional records” section.

Nothing that shows me the actual resolved IP address...There doesn’t seem to be an “answer” section.

Thanks,

Braun Brelin

Hi Braun,

I'm guessing that the frame you posted got truncated ... in the DNS frame I'm examining right now, directly after the 'Queries' section, is an 'Answers' section, which contains the IP address

I don't have a story as to how that would happen though ... had you captured with 'tshark -s 64 -V port 53 udp', then we'd have a story ... but I see no sign of 'slicking' on your tshark command line.

hope this scoots you closer to an answer to your question,

Hi all,

I’m have a question regarding capturing DNS traffic with tshark.   I do a fairly simple command:

Tshark –V port 53 udp


I’m getting output like so:

            Name: blackberry.net.mnc002.mcc505.gprs
            Type: A (Host address)
            Class: IN (0x0001)



This is in response to a query about an A record.

My question is:  Where is the actual IP address that gets returned in the DNS response?

Basically, all I want to do is capture DNS queries their responses and find out exactly what IP address is getting sent back to the client from the server.

Any help appreciated.
