Sorry remembered wrong, it's not free. But not that expensive either.

Yeah now I remember, I browsed for a free firewall for server platform for 
days, but didn't find any.


But have been very happy with the Net Firewall.

What are these entries in the log file - query: . IN NS +?

2009-01-26 Thread Tony Toews [MVP]
Folks

Warning - I know just enough about Bind to be dangerous.   Which is why I'm 
asking.

I just noticed that our small scale Bind server as a lot of the following lines.

26-Jan-2009 14:28:24.004 client 76.9.16.171#23101: query: . IN NS +
26-Jan-2009 14:28:58.254 client 63.217.28.226#28035: query: . IN NS +
26-Jan-2009 14:29:00.691 client 63.217.28.226#35549: query: . IN NS +
26-Jan-2009 14:29:26.332 client 76.9.16.171#19817: query: . IN NS +

As far as I can tell from the same 5 or 20 IP addresses.  I haven't seen these 
lines
before.

1) What am I doing wrong?  If anything.

2) What are they?

In that case maybe on your router? Apply a inbound request from them on
port 53 udp only, that way you wont affect real traffic (hopefully)
it does seemed to have died off dramatically here now.

BCP38 is not something you implement, it's something that has to be 
implemented by the ISPs hosting the attacking systems.  They have to 
block forged source IPs from their customers.

Since there are many ISPs out there that are too lazy, incompetent, or 
just don't care, where probably never going to be rid of these kinds of

 BCP38 is not something you implement, it's something that has to be 
 implemented by the ISPs hosting the attacking systems.  They have to 
 block forged source IPs from their customers.

BCP 38 is something everyone should implement.  A site
shouldn't allow packets to leave with bogus source addresses.

That being said there is no real expectation that home users
will be implementing BCP 38 so it falls back to the ISP's
implement to catch the bad packets when they reach their
network.
 
 Since there are many ISPs out there that are too lazy, incompetent, or 
 just don't care, where probably never going to be rid of these kinds of 
 attacks.

Agreed.  You can however do your part by choosing ISP/IAP's that
deploy BCP 38 over ones that don't.  Add it to the selection
criteria for a ISP/IAP.  Ones that do are probably more clueful
overall and you will have less problems in the end.

 It looks like the server is replying with a refused statement.  The following

 two lines that WireShark captured.
 
 Standard query NS Root
 Standard query response, refused

Good.  The attacker is trying to you as a amplifier and
that is not happening.  That is all one can reasonably
expect.

The next thing you should do is ask your ISP to chase them
back to their source and if they are local to the ISP block
them by implementing BCP 38 other wise to pass on the request
to the peers they are getting them from.

The problem seems to kick in for DNS servers that arent rejecting the queries.
Someone is channeling ye 'ole smurfing methods.

They're requesting a list of all DNS root servers. If the server don't reject

spoofed
address.
