A Proposal of FQDN-based Whitelist Filter on DNS Cache Server against DNS Water Torture Attack
Keita Hasegawa, Daishi Kondo, Hideki Tode (OPU) NS2020-2
Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) A Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack is a major social issue, and as one of the DDoS incidents, a Domain Name Service (DNS) DDoS attack against Dyn DNS, which is a DNS provider, caused the outage of several web services in 2016. This paper tackles a DNS water torture attack that was observed in the Dyn cyberattack. In the DNS water torture attack, attackers create a large number of unique Fully Qualified Domain Names (FQDNs) with random labels, send them to DNS cache servers and authoritative DNS servers, and collapse these servers. In order to reduce an impact of this attack, serverd on a countermeasures on DNS cache servers have been presented. However, one serious drawback of conventional countermeasures is that they cannot detect malicious DNS queries generated by an advanced DNS water torture attack, and therefore, the threat of this attack still remains. Against this disadvantage, we propose an FQDN-based whitelist filter that registers actually existed FQDNs and drops non-existed FQDNs that are created by the attackers. This whitelist can reduce a negative impact by falsely dropping legitimate DNS queries while eliminating malicious ones.
