Hi,

Its a bad idea to run a public dns on a lowendbox?

    Yes, it is. The idiots at hackforums discovered dns amplification attacks a few months ago and now they're attacking my customers often, most are from public open resolvers.

  • Few providers ban the use of recursive DNS queries now...

    'Any' public service is usually a 'bad idea'. There are always people out there that get a kick out of abusing stuff. Whether it's a gameserver, DNS server or even a mis-configured mod_proxy apache module cough.

    Unless you're Google,

    don't

    make one.

    The quadruple combo means you're serious. H1 + B + I + U makes an extreme combination.

    Long story short, there is already plenty of them run by large corps that do the job way better then you could.

  • PaulPaul Member

    What's your purpose for doing so? I'd say if you're doing it for a thesis or an experiment on DDoS / DNS amplification attacks and how to prevent them, then I think it's a great idea and you're in the right direction. Go for it.

    I dont be so drunken that i would run them public, i was only thinking about it.
    Other question, its possible to add a black/whitelist to bind9?

  • MunMun Member

    Yes you can.
