awl

awl is a command-line DNS client, much like drill, dig, dog, doggo, or q

This was made as my first major experiment with Go, so there are probably things that can be improved

The excellent dns library for Go does most of the heavy lifting.

What works

  • UDP
  • TCP
  • TLS
  • HTTPS (maybe)
  • QUIC (extreme maybe)

What doesn't

  • Your sanity after reading my awful code
  • A motivation for making this after finding q and doggo

What should change

  • Make the CLI less abysmal (migrate to cobra? or just use stdlib's flags)
  • Optimize everything
  • Make the code less spaghetti (partially completed)
  • Feature parity with drill
    • Making a drop-in replacement for drill?
