DynuSharp

Thanks to Dynu

A big thanks to Dynu for offering such a versatile platform that spans beyond DNS services to include email, domain registration, and more. Their provision of a free tier is a testament to their commitment to making powerful web solutions accessible to everyone. Check out Dynu's website for more information on their services.

Overview

DynuSharp is a .NET library designed to facilitate seamless integration with Dynu's API, enabling developers to manage DNS, email, domain services, and more with utmost efficiency and security. This library leverages .NET's robust features to provide an intuitive interface for Dynu services, ensuring sensitive credentials are handled securely.

Features

• Comprehensive API Coverage: Interact with Dynu's DNS, Email, and Domain services through a single, cohesive library.
• Secure Secret Management: Implements advanced techniques to securely store and manage runtime secrets, including secure memory storage, obfuscation, and TPM-based solutions.
• Flexible Authentication: Out-of-the-box support for API key and OAuth2, with the ability to extend or implement custom authentication mechanisms.

Authentication

DynuSharp offers built-in support for standard Dynu authentication methods (API key and OAuth2) and extends the capability to include custom authentication strategies through the 'IAuthentication' interface.

Standard Authentication Methods

API Key Authentication

var apiKey = "your_api_key_here";
var client = new DynuClient(apiKey);

OAuth2 Authentication

var clientId = "your_client_id_here";
var secret = "your_client_secret_here";
var client = new DynuClient(clientId, secret);

Custom Authentication

DynuSharp's design embraces extensibility, allowing developers to implement their own authentication mechanisms by implementing the IAuthentication interface.

public class CustomAuthentication : IAuthentication
{
    // Implementation of custom authentication logic
}

var customAuth = new CustomAuthentication();
var client = new DynuClient(customAuth);

Secure Secret Management

DynuSharp secures sensitive information such as API keys, client secrets, and client IDs using AES encryption as standard practice. Encrypted data is stored and utilized in-memory, leveraging TPM module technology when available for enhanced security. As a fallback, obfuscation techniques are employed to slightly increase security. No secrets are permanently stored, ensuring they remain accessible only for the duration of the client's lifespan. While these measures significantly enhance the protection of sensitive information, it's acknowledged that no system can guarantee 100% security.

Example

Here's a quick demonstration of DynuSharp in action:

using var client = new DynuClient("api_key");
var dnsDomains = await client.DNS.Domains.GetListAsync();
foreach (var domain in dnsDomains)
{
    var records = await client.DNS.Records.GetListAsync(domain.Id);
    foreach (var record in records)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(record);
    }
}

This code snippet highlights how DynuSharp makes it straightforward to interact with Dynu's API, streamlining the process of managing DNS records with ease and efficiency.
