Well, we have the answer. In this course we'll show you how you can create and. Control custom DNS records to find out. For yourself. In this lesson, we'll be looking at what. The DNS protocol is, how it works, and. How you can manipulate it. And by manipulating it, we mean. Manipulate the data stored in it. You know, there's a reason why this. Is called the "Domain Name System" and. Not the "Domain Namesystem". The DNS system is very complicated, and. It is not immediately obvious what. Information the DNS system should. Contain. At least not if you are someone who. Doesn't deal with computers a lot. And, for a lot of people, this might. Be the first time that they have ever. Used a computer to manage their. Communications. So the DNS system is the only way that. We know of that lets users on. Computers communicate with computers. Without needing to make an end to end. Connection. For example, when you type an email. Address into your web browser to send. A message to your friend, you are not. Sending a message to your friend's. Computer, you are sending a message to. A DNS name that tells your web. Browser which computer to send the. Because DNS is so vital to the. Functionality of the Internet, it has. Its own standard that describes how it. But DNS is a more than just a. Protocol, it is also a hierarchy. And because it is a hierarchy, it. Involves both a client and a server. It is a client because it talks to the. Server and it is a server because it. Has the answers to the questions asked. By the client. I mean, how could it be anything else? For example, the server knows the IP. Address of every computer on the. How could the server know that without. Having received the question "What is. The IP address of that computer?". The server is a DNS server because it. Sends out answers to DNS queries. Now, the DNS server we're going to use. Is open source.

The netcat command is what you're looking for. The command connects to the host on the specified port, using the protocol specified. The default protocol is TCP. If no port is specified, an ephemeral port is used. The host must be specified as an Internet domain name or as a numeric hostname. If no host is specified, netcat connects to the local host on the default TCP port. If a protocol is specified, the netcat connects using the specified protocol. If the host is specified as a numeric address, the program connects using the default protocol for that address." google.com 80
