- Description:
- A tool to collect DNS records passively to aid Incident handling, Network
Security Monitoring (NSM) and general digital forensics.
PassiveDNS sniffs traffic from an interface or reads a pcap-file and outputs
the DNS-server answers to a log file. PassiveDNS can cache/aggregate duplicate
DNS answers in-memory, limiting the amount of data in the logfile without
losing the essense in the DNS answer.

*/*: Bump consumers of dns/ldns after update to 1.9.0
Force rebuild comsumers - upstream changed ABI without bump soname.
ldns 1.9.0 inserted LDNS_RDF_TYPE_INT64 at enum position 5, shifting
every subsequent value by +1. But port kept the shared library as
libldns.so.3.6.0 - no SONAME bump - so consumers wasn't flagged for
rebuild and still has the old 1.8.x enum constants baked in.
Example of error for opendnssec:
[adapter] error parsing RR at line 2 (Syntax error, could not parse
the RR's rdata)
