I have written previously about my Rust projects. However, these have always been in WebAssembly so they are consumed from a web browser. I wanted to play with native Rust code and some if its highly regarded multi-threading features. [I have written previously about my Rust projects](/tags/rust).

Something I also enjoy, when working with low-level languages, is bitwise operations. These two led me to the desire to do a native Rust project. I was aware of the concept of [DNS tunneling](https://www.zenarmor.com/docs/network-security-tutorials/what-is-dns-tunneling#what-are-the-dns-tunneling-techniques), I believe I heard the idea described on [Security This Week with Carl Franklin](https://securitythisweek.com/). So that was the inspiration, build some sort of DNS tunneling apparatus, largely to have a toy project that I could fiddle with.

# dnstplib # dns lib
The first task when I started the project was to work out how to generate and serialise DNS messages. I had a look for an existing crate that could help with this but wasn't satisfied with what I could find, so I decided to write my own. This was a lot of fun because, as I mentioned previously, I love working with bitwise operations. Working with the bit flags of the DNS header was great.
