DNS Security The Domain Name Service (DNS) translates human-readable names to IP addresses E.g., thesiger.cs.ucla.edu translates to 131.179.192.144 DNS also provides other similar services It wasnt designed with security in

  1. DNS Security • The Domain Name Service (DNS) translates human-readable names to IP addresses – E.g., thesiger.cs.ucla.edu translates to 131.179.192.144 – DNS also provides other similar services • It wasn’t designed with security in mind Lecture 18 Page 1 CS 236 Online

  2. DNS Threats • Threats to name lookup secrecy – Definition of DNS system says this data isn’t secret • Threats to DNS information integrity – Very important, since everything trusts that this translation is correct • Threats to DNS availability – Potential to disrupt Internet service Lecture 18 Page 2 CS 236 Online

  3. What Could Really Go Wrong? • DNS lookups could be faked – Meaning packets go to the wrong place • The DNS service could be subject to a DoS attack – Or could be used to amplify one • Attackers could “bug” a DNS server to learn what users are looking up Lecture 18 Page 3 CS 236 Online

  4. Where Does the Threat Occur? • Unlike routing, threat can occur in several places – At DNS servers – But also at DNS clients • Which is almost everyone • Core problem is that DNS responses aren’t authenticated Lecture 18 Page 4 CS 236 Online

  5. The DNS Lookup Process lookup thesiger.cs.ucla.edu answer 131.179.191.144 ping thesiger.cs.ucla.edu If the answer is Should result in a ping wrong, in standard packet being sent to DNS the client is 131.179.191.144 screwed Lecture 18 Page 5 CS 236 Online

  6. How Did the DNS Server Perform the Lookup? • Leaving aside details, it has a table of translations between names and addresses • It looked up thesiger.cs.ucla.edu in the table • And replied with whatever the address was Lecture 18 Page 6 CS 236 Online

  7. Where Did That Table Come From? • Ultimately, the table entries are created by those owning the domains – On a good day . . . • And stored at servers that are authoritative for that domain • In this case, the UCLA Computer Science Department DNS server ultimately stored it • Other servers use a hierarchical lookup method to find the translation when needed Lecture 18 Page 7 CS 236 Online

  8. Doing Hierarchical Translation Where’s edu? lookup thesiger.cs.ucla.edu DNS root server Where’s ucla.edu? edu root server Where’s thesiger.cs.ucla.edu? Where’s cs.ucla.edu? ucla.edu root server cs.ucla.edu root server Lecture 18 Page 8 CS 236 Online

  9. Where Can This Go Wrong? • Someone can spoof the answer from a DNS server – Relatively easy, since UDP is used • One of the DNS servers can lie • Someone can corrupt the database of one of the DNS servers Lecture 18 Page 9 CS 236 Online

  10. The Spoofing Problem lookup thesiger.cs.ucla.edu answer 131.179.191.144 Unfortunately, most DNS stub resolvers will take the first answer answer 97.22.101.53 Lecture 18 Page 10 CS 236 Online

  11. DNS Servers Lying answer 97.22.101.53 lookup thesiger.cs.ucla.edu . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . thesiger.cs.ucla.edu 131.178.192.144 . . . . . . . . . . . . That wasn’t very nice of him! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Lecture 18 Page 11 CS 236 Online

  12. DNS Database Corruption answer 97.22.101.53 lookup thesiger.cs.ucla.edu . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 97.22.101.53 . . . thesiger.cs.ucla.edu . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Lecture 18 Page 12 CS 236 Online

  13. The DNSSEC Solution • Sign the translations • Who does the signing? – The server doing the response? – Or the server that “owns” the namespace in question? • DNSSEC uses the latter solution Lecture 18 Page 13 CS 236 Online

  14. Implications of the DNSSEC Solution • DNS databases must store signatures of resource records • There must be a way of checking the signatures • The protocol must allow signatures to be returned Lecture 18 Page 14 CS 236 Online

  15. Checking the Signature • Basically, use certificates to validate public keys for namespaces • Who signs the certificates? – The entity controlling the higher level namespace • This implies a hierarchical solution Lecture 18 Page 15 CS 236 Online

  16. The DNSSEC Signing Hierarchy • In principle, ICANN signs for itself and for top level domains (TLDs) – Like .com, .edu, country codes, etc. • Each TLD signs for domains under it • Those domains sign for domains below them • And so on down Lecture 18 Page 16 CS 236 Online

  17. An Example • Who signs the translation for thesiger.cs.ucla.edu to 131.179.192.144? • The UCLA CS DNS server • How does someone know that’s the right server to sign? • Because the UCLA server says so – Securely, with signatures • The edu server verifies the UCLA server’s signature • Ultimately, hierarchical signatures leading up to ICANN’s attestation of who controls the edu namespace • Where do you keep that information? – In DNS databases Lecture 18 Page 17 CS 236 Online

  18. Using DNSSEC • To be really secure, you must check signatures yourself • Next best is to have a really trusted authority check the signatures – And to have secure, authenticated communications between trusted authority and you Lecture 18 Page 18 CS 236 Online

  19. A Major Issue • When you look up something like cs.ucla.edu, you get back a signed record • What if you look up a name that doesn’t exist? • How can you get a signed record for every possible non-existent name? Lecture 18 Page 19 CS 236 Online

  20. The DNSSEC Solution • Names are alphabetically orderable • Between any two names that exist, there are a bunch of names that don’t • Sign the whole range of non-existent names • If someone looks one up, give them the range signature Lecture 18 Page 20 CS 236 Online

  21. For Example, You get lasr.cs.ucla.edu 131.179.192.136 authoritative lbsr.cs.ucla.edu – pelican.cs.ucla.edu 131.179.128.17 NOT ASSIGNED information that pd.cs.ucla.edu toucan.cs.ucla.edu 131.179.128.16 the name isn’t pelican.cs.ucla.edu 131.179.128.17 assigned toucan.cs.ucla.edu 131.179.128.16 Foils spoofing attacks > host last.cs.ucla.edu Lecture 18 Page 21 CS 236 Online

  22. Status of DNSSEC • Working implementations available • In use in some places • Heavily promoted – First by DARPA – Now by DHS • Beginning to get out there Lecture 18 Page 22 CS 236 Online

  23. Status of DNSSEC Deployment • ICANN has signed the root – .com, .gov, .edu, .org, .net all signed at top level – Not everyone below has signed, though • Many “islands” of DNSSEC signatures – Signing for themselves and those below them – In most cases, just for themselves • Utility depends on end machines checking signatures Lecture 18 Page 23 CS 236 Online

  24. Using DNSSEC • Actually installing and using DNSSEC not quite as easy as it sounds • Lots of complexities down in the weeds • Particularly hard for domains with lots of churn in their namespace – Every new name requires big changes to what gets signed Lecture 18 Page 24 CS 236 Online

  25. Other DNS Solutions • Encrypt communications with DNS servers – Prevents DNS cache poisoning – But assumes that DNS server already has right record • Ask multiple servers – Majority rules or require consensus Lecture 18 Page 25 CS 236 Online

  26. Conclusion • Correct Internet behavior depends on a few key technologies – Especially routing and DNS • Initial (still popular) implementations of those technologies are not secure • Work is ongoing on improving their security Lecture 18 Page 26 CS 236 Online
