Wireshark-users: Re: [Wireshark-users] How to parse incoming DNS responses but do not query DNS s
I think this task cannot be done by just playing with the wireshark tool alone. You need to instruct the system to use the mapping relationship that already exists in the capture dump.
Here is a brief description of the process that you could use to write a script. First use the tshark find the response packet AND result code=0(which means that the dns query is done successfully, note the actual field name could be something different). If there exists such packets, then subtract the name and ip in this packet. Lastly clear your dns cache, and add in the host file this mapping relationship.
Hope this helps
