DDOS DNS Attack by Netgear Products caused by CNAME instead of A record?

by Benoit Panizzon

Heyo! Any others who are being affected? It looks like our customers Netgear routers (known ones: WNR3500Lv2, WNDR4500) are asking our DNS Server for the A record of: time-g.netgear.com or time- a.netgear.com Instead of an A record reply, they get a CNAME as answer with additional information the A record of that CNAME. That is what netgear has published on their DNS Servers. Those routers are not happy with that reply and just start sending several hundred requests per second for A time-g.netgear.com resulting in considerable load and traffic on our DNS caches. Some customers have already transfered 35GB of DNS traffic, only since today midnight. I have contacted netgear technical support. The issue is yet unknown to them. They got my pcap files to analyze :-) Any others observing that behaviour of netgear products? Any know remedies?

IRC Network / Swinog / Link down

by bm＠imp.ch

Hi there There's an issue around that the IRC Channel #swinog is in a splitted state (Link between irc.humppa.ch and irc.swissix.ch). The reason: It seems that irc.swissix.ch NTP/date is out of sync. As soon as some1 there has fixed the Issue, the #swinog Channel will have both part of the brain again (so plz: Administrator of the server, let Marty jump back/forward to the actual time/date). Thank you + Best Regards, Boris

WG: DDOS DNS Attack by Netgear Products caused by CNAME instead of A record?

by Michael Richter

Hmm I thought it is better you'll do the rate limiting on a lower layer. It's the same fix. you give the customer x queries in y time. But with RRL I think every query is counted. With iptables you can say, just count the ANY queries. So it's more specific Freundliche Grüsse sasag Kabelkommunikation AG Michael Richter Professional Bachelor ODEC in Engineering mrichter(a)sasag.ch 052 633 01 71 ________________________________________ Von: Jeroen Massar [jeroen(a)massar.ch] Gesendet: Freitag, 24.

You want to deploy RRL. iptables is not the right location for doing this kind of stuff as you will have false positives. Please see http://www.redbarn.org/dns/ratelimits Greets, Jeroen

EuroBSDcon 2013 on Sept. 28-29. 2013 on Malta

by Andre Oppermann

For all BSD users and fans: this years EuroBSDcon is on Malta on the weekend of September 28-29. 2013 with almost 30 high profile talks. Interesting tutorials by well known tutors are on the preceding Thursday and Friday. The social event on Saturday evening is a beach BBQ. Malta is a great destination and the weather at end of September is still about 26C during day and 19-20C at night with little chance of rain. Adding a few days for an extended weekend is a good idea as well. Malta has many places to explore and has one of the best scuba diving scenes in the med. You can still submit your talk proposal until coming Monday. We have travel expense grants for speakers on an as-needed basis. The full conference speaker list will be announced mid-June which is also when the attendee registration opens. More information here: Main website: http://2013.eurobsdcon.org/ Exploring Malta: http://2013.eurobsdcon.org/eurobsdcon-2013/side-program/ PS: We're also looking for companies sponsoring the conference in the range of EUR 1'000 to 5'000. If you're interested or know someone who may be please contact me directly. -- Andre EuroBSDcon 2013 OC Chair
