Abstract: The Domain Name System (DNS) is a widely implemented distributed database system used throughout the Internet, providing name resolution between host names and Internet Protocol addresses. This thesis describes problems with the DNS and one of its implementations that allow the abuse of name based authentication. This leads to situations where the name resolution process cannot be trusted, and security may be compromised. This thesis outlines the current design and implementation of the DNS. It ... (Update)

...may have been in vain. Apart from reports that this exact technique was used by hackers many years ago and the reports are quite reliable the paper leaked anyway. We have seen it on at least one Web server, and follow up work by Schuba has been available for quite some time...

...is carried out on the Internet would be impossible. Whilst DNS is a vital service, the security problems posed by using DNS are numerous[7,8]. The main risk surrounds the amount of local information that the DNS can make public. Allowing access to a site s hostnames opens up...
