NAME¶
Net::DNS::RR::NSEC3 - DNS NSEC3 resource record
SYNOPSIS¶
"use Net::DNS::RR;"
DESCRIPTION¶
Class for DNS Address (NSEC3) resource records.
The NSEC3 Resource Record (RR) provides authenticated denial of existence for
DNS Resource Record Sets. The NSEC3 RR lists RR types present at the NSEC3
RR's original ownername. It includes the next hashed ownername in the hash
order of the zone. The complete set of NSEC3 RRs in a zone indicates which
RRsets exist for the original ownername of the RRset and form a chain of
hashed ownernames in the zone.
METHODS¶
ownername¶
Returns the hashed value of the original owner name as contained in the first
label of the ownername of the record.
The owner name for the NSEC3 RR is the base32 encoding of the hashed
owner name prepended as a single label to the name of the zone.
In other words the name(name) method returns the result of the
ownername() method prepended to the name of the containing zone.
optout¶
Reads and sets the opt-out attribute.
flags¶
Reads and sets the flag field.
hashalgo¶
Reads and sets the hashalgo (hash algorithm) attribute.
hnxtname¶
Reads and sets the hnxtname (hashed next ownername) attribute.
typelist (inhereted from NSEC)¶
print "typelist" = ", $rr->typelist, "\n";
Returns a string with the list of qtypes for which data exists for this
particular label.
typebm (inhereted from NSEC)¶
print "typebm" = " unpack("B*", $rr->typebm), "\n";
Same as the typelist but now in a representation bitmap as in specified in the
RFC. This is not the kind of method you will need on daily basis.
covered, matched¶
print "covered" if $rr->covered{'example.foo'}
covered returns a nonzero value when the the domain name provided as argument is
covered as defined in the NSEC3 specification:
To cover: An NSEC3 RR is said to "cover" a name if the hash of the
name or "next closer" name falls between the owner name and the
next hashed owner name of the NSEC3. In other words, if it proves
the nonexistence of the name, either directly or by proving the
nonexistence of an ancestor of the name.
Similarly ismatched returns a nonzero value when the domainname in the argument
matches as defined in the NSEC3 specification:
To match: An NSEC3 RR is said to "match" a name if the owner name
of the NSEC3 RR is the same as the hashed owner name of that
name.
Functions¶
name2hash¶
Takes the hash identifyer (numeric), a fullyqualfied domain name, the number of
iterations and a binary salt to compute the hash value used in the NSEC3
calculations.
$hashalg=Net::DNS::SEC->digtype("SHA1");
$salt=pack("H*","aabbccdd");
$iterations=12;
$name="*.x.w.example";
$hashedname= Net::DNS::RR::NSEC3::name2hash($hashalg,$name,$iterations,$salt);
print $hashedname;
results in:
92pqneegtaue7pjatc3l3qnk738c6v5m
Normally the salt and itterations would be fetched from an NSEC3PARAM record.
