  1. Types of DNS Attacks You Should Know ⚔️🌐🔍

    The Domain Name System (DNS) is a core part of how the internet works — and it’s also a prime target for attackers. Understanding DNS attack types is essential for defending network infrastructure.

    🛠️ Common DNS Attack Types:

    1. DNS Spoofing / Cache Poisoning
    → Injects false DNS data into a resolver's cache to redirect users to malicious sites.

    2. DNS Tunneling
    → Encodes data into DNS queries/responses to exfiltrate data or establish covert C2 channels.

    3. DNS Amplification (DDoS)
    → Exploits open DNS resolvers to flood a target with amplified traffic.

    4. NXDOMAIN Attack
    → Overloads DNS servers with queries for nonexistent domains, degrading performance.

    5. Domain Hijacking
    → Unauthorized changes to DNS records or domain ownership to take control of web traffic.

    6. Typosquatting / Homograph Attacks
    → Uses lookalike domains to trick users into visiting malicious sites.

    7. Subdomain Takeover
    → Targets misconfigured DNS entries pointing to expired resources (e.g., GitHub Pages, AWS buckets).

    Why it matters:
    DNS is often overlooked in security strategies, but it’s a critical attack surface. Proper monitoring, DNSSEC, and logging can reduce risk.

  6. What is DNS hijacking? How it took down Curve Finance’s website - Understanding the Curve Finance DNS hijackin... - cointelegraph.com/explained/wh #dnshijacking

  7. By blocking nearly all incoming traffic, including ports 80/443, #Malaysia ensures that only (mostly foreign) corporations can afford to host content and services on the Internet.

    Another nail in the coffin of #selfhosting #federation #decentralization #freespeech following the enforcement of nationwide #DNShijacking

  8. I've released an open-source PowerShell script to monitor (static) DNS records. All the commercial solutions were complete overkill for my purposes: check if someone's monkeyed around with DNS.

    Comments and code contributions welcome. It's alpha, but "it works". Could definitely be used in certain corporate scenarios.
