Description

Probably been asked about before, but is there any plans on implementing a DNS implant?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate existing listener implementations (e.g., HTTP, SMB) in the Covenant codebase to understand the pattern, then study DNS protocol and consider how to implement a DNS listener that handles A/AAAA/NS queries and encodes data within DNS responses.
