Abstract
Improperly configured Domain Name System (DNS) servers are sometimes used as packet reflectors as part of a DoS or DDoS attack. Detecting packets created as a result of this activity is logically possible by monitoring the DNS request and response traffic. Any response that does not have a corresponding request can be considered a reflected message; checking and tracking every DNS packet, however, is a non-trivial operation. In this paper, we propose a detection mechanism for DNS servers used as reflectors by using a DNS server feature matrix built from a small number of packets and a machine learning algorithm. The F1 score of bad DNS server detection was over 0.9 when the test and training data are generated within the same day.
