privex.helpers.exceptions

Exception classes used either by our helpers, or just generic exception names which are missing from the standard base exceptions in Python, and are commonly used across our projects.

Exceptions

BaseDNSException

Base exception for DNS-related exceptions

BoundaryException

Thrown when the v4/v6 address boundary for a reverse DNS record is invalid.

DomainNotFound

Thrown when a (sub)domain or it’s parent(s) could not be found

InvalidDNSRecord

Thrown when a passed DNS record is not valid

PrivexException

Base exception for all custom Privex exceptions

exception privex.helpers.exceptions.BaseDNSException[source]

Base exception for DNS-related exceptions

exception privex.helpers.exceptions.BoundaryException[source]

Thrown when the v4/v6 address boundary for a reverse DNS record is invalid.

An “address boundary” is the minimum amount of bits that defines a character in a reverse DNS domain (i.e. those ending in in-addr/ip6.arpa):

  • IPv6 uses “nibbles” of 4 bits for each individual character in a standard 128-bit address

  • IPv4 uses “octets” of 8 bits, which represent 0-255 in each of the 4 “blocks” within an IPv4 address

This means the minimum and maximum boundaries for IPv4 and IPv6 are as such:

IPv6 - Minimum boundary: 4 bits (*.f.ip6.arpa), Maximum boundary: 128 bits (rDNS for a single address, i.e. a /128) IPv4 - Minimum boundary: 8 bits (x.x.x.127.in-addr.arpa), Maximum boundary: 32 bits (1.0.0.127.in-addr.arpa)
