Forward to Hell? on the Potentials of Misusing Transparent DNS Forwarders in Reflective Amplification Attacks

The DNS infrastructure is infamous for facilitating reflective amplification attacks. Various countermeasures such as server shielding, access control, rate limiting, and protocol restrictions have been implemented. Still, the threat remains throughout the deployment of DNS servers. In this paper...

SubBrute v2.0 - A DNS meta-query spider that enumerates DNS records, and subdomains

SubBrute is a community driven project with the goal of creating the fastest, and most accurate subdomain enumeration tool. Some of the magic behind SubBrute is that it uses open resolvers as a kind of proxy to circumvent DNS rate-limiting https://www.us-cert.gov/ncas/alerts/TA13-088A . This desi...
