Resolve obfuscated IP addresses Node.js using the DNS module

QUESTION

Resolve obfuscated IP addresses Node.js using the DNS module

Asked 2021-Jan-27 at 17:50

I know on a Mac OSX I can run this command: dns-sd -q a5b3ef18-2e66-4e24-91d2-893b93bbc1c1.local and it returns an IP address. Can I do this in Node.js? It seems like the dns module is mainly used for website -> IP, not IP -> IP (resolved) conversions. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Note: The imputted addresses will be mDNS, converted by Bonjour. I found the Bonjour npm package/library, but don't think it works in this case. Also, I found mdns which has the mdns.dns_sd function but I cannot seem to figure out how to use it in my case.

Thanks!

I found a Node module that does exactly what you need. Multicast-DNS is capable of querying mDNS IPs to the standard IP format. The snippet on their README does what you need:

Install node_mdns

On Linux and other systems using the avahi daemon the avahi dns_sd compat library and its header files are required. On debianesque systems the package name is libavahi-compat-libdnssd-dev, on fedoraesque systems the package is avahi-compat-libdns_sd-devel. On other platforms Apple's mDNSResponder is recommended. Care should be taken not to install more than one mDNS stack on a system. On Windows you are going to need Apples "Bonjour SDK for Windows". You can download it either from Apple (registration required) or various unofficial sources. Take your pick. After installing the SDK restart your computer and make sure the BONJOUR_SDK_HOME environment variable is set. You'll also need a compiler. Microsoft Visual Studio Express will do. On Windows node >=0.7.9 is required.
