has been 'poisoned'?


Compare what your cache deliver with results from other sites. To  
prevent cache poison you might use DNSSEC if the zones which are  
affected support it and at least use a recent Resolver with ID/port  
randomization.

Re: bind9.7.1 Reload Fails with Permission Denied. solved

if your names runs under 'bind' userid, it apparently should not own its
config files, only those it writes to. It's quite good practice when daemon
can't write to its config files.

You apparently need only change permissions so bind could READ the file,
which usually means group bind and group-read privileges.

quitye hard if it's already been done. You can see what it contains and
compare it with what is should contain, but you never know if the incorrect
data didn't come from misconfigured server.

bind9.7.1 Skipping lots of Zone Transfers

2010-10-26 Thread Martin McCormick
Ah, the wonderful world of high stakes no-return upgrades!

I turned on a new installation of bind9.7.1 after
running it in slave mode for a few days and:

26-Oct-2010 07:30:46.497 zone 78.139.IN-ADDR.ARPA/IN: refresh: 
skipping zone transfer as master 139.78.100.1#53 (source 0.0.0.0#0) is 
unreachable (cached)

These messages are flying in fast and furious at a rate
of about 1500 in 4 hours and the master is otherwise answering
queries and seems to be well. Nothing like going from test mode
to production to find out the truth.

The slave from which I got these errors is also a brand
new installation of bind9.7.1 and is on the same switch as the
master.

If the problem is with the slave configuration, I am not
as concerned as if it is the master so I am trying to figure
this out sooner rather than later as it looks like something
that might effect our site lookups.

Any ideas are appreciated. Most of the error messages in
bind9.7.1 are fairly self-explanitory but this one has me
scratching my head.

Are you able to dig @139.78.100.1 78.139.IN-ADDR.ARPA axfr when logged
into the slave?

It seems that communications between the slave (which we don't know the
IP address of) and the server at 139.78.100.1 is broken.

No and your diagnosis was spot on.

 IP address of) and the server at 139.78.100.1 is broken.

Oh, yes! it was definitely broken. The slave is on the
same subnet as the master so any firewalls had to be on one or
the other  and it turned out some firewall rules I had been
using for probably 6 to 8 years or so do not work with tcp
transfers. individual lookups worked because they are mostly
udp.

To be truthful, the firewall was low on the trouble-shooting
list because it had worked for so long.

Thanks very much.

Re: Possible cache poisoning

2010-10-26 Thread Sten Carlsen
If we talk about checking after suspected poisoning, my best idea is:

dump the cache, then flush the cache and do the lookups again and
compare to the cache-dump. Any difference is suspicious and should be
looked closer upon.

The cure is BTW also to flush the cache of the fake info.

Remember that it is only the resolving server, that gets poisoned, the
authoritative server does not ask questions and can not be poisoned with
false replies.

Remember to use best practises to avoid poisoning anyway.

limiting number of recursion/queries per IP address

2010-10-26 Thread Kebba Foon
Dear List,

Is is possible to limit the number of recursion/queries per IP address.
there is some kind of virus thats bombarding my dns servers with a lot
of queries, i realize that when ever the total number of recursion
clients reach 1000 dns resolution stop working. i have increase the
recursive-clients to 1 but still these those not help. and also i
have increase the number of max open files on my OS which at one point
was complaining about too many open files. can someone please direct me
to how best to solve this problem its some kind of DDOS.

What version of bind, on what OS?

There may be some things you can do with iptables to limit connections

http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/187

I don't recall seeing anything native to BIND that would allow for limits per 
src.

RE: limiting number of recursion/queries per IP address

2010-10-26 Thread Lightner, Jeff
iptables is available in most Linux distros and it is definitely better
to block things there than in BIND itself.

I don't know that BIND has a rate limiter.  It DOES have a blacklist
option where you can completely block a site's access to it but as noted
above it is better to do it in iptables or firewall because then it
never gets to BIND in the first place.
