DNS-System

Overview

The DNS-System is a C++ application designed to manage a blacklist of DNS entries. It allows users to create, search, and manage entries in a blacklist, which includes details such as domain names, IP addresses, countries, and entry dates. The system provides a console-based menu interface for interacting with the blacklist.

Features

• Create New Entries: Add new DNS entries to the blacklist with details like block ID, domain name, IP address, country, and entry date.
• Search Functionality: Search for entries by block ID, domain name, or IP address.
• View Records: View entries filtered by country or entry date.
• Remove Entries: Remove entries from the blacklist by block ID, domain name, IP address, country, or entry date.
• Console Interface: A user-friendly console interface for easy interaction.

Code Structure

• Main Application: The main application logic is contained in main.cpp, which initializes the Blacklist class and starts the menu interface.

• Blacklist Management: The Blacklist class handles all operations related to managing the DNS entries, including insertion, deletion, and searching.

  • Reference: DNS/DNS/implimentation.cpp (startLine: 83, endLine: 962)

• Data Structure: The BlockedEntry class represents individual DNS entries in the blacklist, with attributes for block ID, domain name, IP address, country, and entry date.

  • Reference: DNS/DNS/BlockedEntryClass.h (startLine: 7, endLine: 38)
