Abstract

In this study, we present PublicDNSEnum, a lightweight and accurate tool to enumerate anycast instances of public DNS services. Leveraging the open and forwarding features of DNS resolvers, PublicDNSEnum enables researchers to trigger and conduct anycast enumeration of public DNS anycast instances on a single vantage host. It transforms a massive number of open forwarders into distributed measurement nodes by utilizing the forwarding relationship between open forwarders and public DNS. Experiments on Google Public DNS show that PublicDNSEnum achieves better recall than the state-of-the-art technique, including iGreedy.

Layering Public Key Distribution Over Secure DNS using Authenticated Delegation
ACSAC '05: Proceedings of the 21st Annual Computer Security Applications Conference

We present the Internet Key Service (IKS), a distributed architecture for authenticated distribution of public keys, layered on Secure DNS (DNSSEC). Clients use DNSSEC to securely discover the identities of the relevant IKS servers, and send key lookup ...
Two days in the life of the DNS anycast root servers
PAM'07: Proceedings of the 8th international conference on Passive and active network measurement

The DNS root nameservers routinely use anycast in order to improve their service to clients and increase their resilience against various types of failures. We study DNS traffic collected over a two-day period in January 2006 at anycast instances for ...
On the use of anycast in DNS
SIGMETRICS '05: Proceedings of the 2005 ACM SIGMETRICS international conference on Measurement and modeling of computer systems

We present the initial results from our evaluation study on the performance implications of anycast in DNS, using four anycast servers deployed at top-level DNS zones. Our results show that 15% to 55% of the queries sent to an anycast group, are ...
