Types of DNS Attacks
The Domain Name System (DNS) is a crucial component of the internet, translating user-friendly domain names into numerical IP addresses. However, its pivotal role also renders it a prime target for cyber-attacks. Various forms of DNS attacks, such as spoofing and Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS), pose significant threats to network security and service availability. To effectively mitigate these risks, implementing strategies like DNSSEC, filtering, and regular updates is imperative.
Common DNS attacks include:
👉 DNS Spoofing (DNS Cache Poisoning)
👉 DNS Amplification
👉 DNS Tunneling
👉 Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) Attacks
