Current Issues in DNS

There are many ways to attack DNS. Attacks range from denials of service (DOS) to man in the middle (MiTM) to spoofing. The recent inclusion of Unicode entries into DNS may mean a site that looks like “microsoft.com” could exist but actually point to something else. Perhaps the o’s in Microsoft would be Cyrillic instead of Latin. This paper will look at the issues facing DNS as well as conduct an analysis of the existing DNS infrastructure to assess its state and weaknesses. This process will also compare results that have been taken from previous DNS testing exercises.
