| Abstract: |
The Domain Name System (DNS) is the global lookup service for network resources. It is often the first step in an Internet transaction as well as a network attack. An attacker can query an organization's DNS as reconnaissance before attacking hosts on a particular network. There are different ways a zone administrator can minimize information leakage. This paper describes the risk and examines the protocol and operational options and looks at their advantages and drawbacks. |
