Description
Random sub-domain attacks (also called as "Water Torture" attacks)
send many non-existent queries to full resolvers. Negative cache
does not work well because query names vary. However, NSEC resource
records contain non-existent name ranges. Aggressive negative
caching using NSEC resource records may be a countermeasure of
random sub-domain attacks for signed domains. The presentation will
explain a proposal of a protocol change, attack tool, a patch to
Unbound, and an experiment result. It also decrease non-existent
TLD queries to root DNS servers. (about 20 minutes without
questions)
