In response, a new network crawler and seed has been developed that implements a standard DNS seed with a minimal embedded DNS server. This seed can serve data using various formats, such as gzipped, timestamped digitally signed protocol buffers over HTTP. The Cartographer, written in Kotlin, is easy to learn and has no chance of any buffer/heap exploits. A client for it is available in the bitcoinj master branch.In conclusion, the given context discusses various discussions and messages related to the limitations and problems with using DNS as a protocol for learning about the p2p network.
