What is DNS Flood Detector?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
DNS Flood Detector was developed to detect abusive usage levels on high
|
||
|
|
traffic nameservers and to enable quick response to the use of one's
|
||
|
|
nameserver to facilitate spam. DNS Flood Detector is distributed under the
|
||
|
|
Gnu Public License (see included LICENSE file for details).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
How does it work?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
DNS Flood Detector uses libpcap (in non-promiscuous mode) to monitor
|
||
|
|
incoming dns queries to a nameserver. The tool may be run in one of two
|
||
|
|
modes, either daemon mode or "bindsnap" mode. In daemon mode, the tool
|
||
|
|
will alarm via syslog. In bindsnap mode, the user is able to get
|
||
|
|
near-real-time stats on usage to aid in more detailed troubleshooting.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
How do I build it?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Execute ./configure.pl to select the appropriate make target. Then simply
|
||
|
|
type "make".
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Why was it written?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I wrote DNS Flood Detector because the fifty or so public recursive
|
||
|
|
nameservers I am responsible for were being abused by both customers and
|
||
|
|
non-customers. DNS Flood Detector allows for prompt action when anomalous
|
||
|
|
conditions are detected.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
What do I need to use it?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You need libpcap and a little bit of patience.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
What platforms does it work on?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Linux, BSDI, FreeBSD, Mac OSX, Solaris
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Will it run under Windows {95,98,NT,2000,XP}?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Maybe. I haven't tried. If it doesn't, feel free to submit a fix.

||
