Abstract:

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a critical component of the Internet infrastructure as it maps human-readable names to IP addresses. Injecting fraudulent mappings allows an attacker to divert users from intended destinations to those of an attacker's choosing. In this paper, we measure the Internet's vulnerability to DNS record injection attacks---including a new attack we uncover. We find that record injection vulnerabilities are fairly common---even years after some of them were first uncovered.
