What Does It Take To Resolve A Hostname

Resolving hostnames (DNS?) might not seem like it, but it's complicated. Let's take a moment to see if we can at least demystify what happens on the client side instead of seeing it as a big tangled mess of configurations, libraries, and tools.

doas โ€” Vivian Voss

Technical Beauty Episode 34. doas: ~1,100 lines of C and yacc, default in OpenBSD 5.8 since October 2015, by Ted Unangst. No PAM, no LDAP, no plugin loader, no /etc/doas.d/ fragments, no Defaults block. One file, one grammar, one rule per line. The sudo CHANGELOG carries Baron Samedit, Pwfeedback, sudoedit arbitrary file write, host-option and chroot CVEs. The upstream OpenBSD doas, in the same period, has carried no comparable critical CVE. The CHANGELOGs are the empirical case.
