Char Sample, CERT security solutions engineer, has close to 20 years of experience in Internet security, and she has been involved with integrating various security technologies in both the public and private sectors. She is presently a doctoral candidate at Capitol College, where her dissertation topic deals with the use of soft markers in attack attribution.
In this Security School lesson, learn the myriad threats to DNS security including cache poisoning and denial of service attacks, IP spoofing, footprinting and redirection attacks.
DNS Security Extensions, or DNSSEC, are largely considered the best mitigation for warding off cache poisoning attacks, the most common attack on the Domain Name System. These attacks are particularly dangerous because users are generally redirected to malicious websites despite requesting a legitimate IP address. DNSSEC deployments, however, are complicated and rife with potential hurdles.
Because of the unique nature of the domain name system (DNS), it is important to remember not all misbehaving DNS traffic is attack traffic. This is important to note because many security experts will focus on known DNS vulnerabilities when securing the enterprise DNS infrastructure. This is a rather short-sighted strategy that can still leave a site open to many other exposures, such as zero-day attacks and protocol exploitations.
