Out-of-Band DNS Bind Server
A simple Bind9 server that acts as an open DNS resolver.
Noteβfor this to work without specifying nameservers
(i.e. dig A +short foo.bar @ns1.foo.bar), you would need your domain provider
to have the domain point to your custom domain for example:
- ns1.foo.bar =>
127.127.127.127 - ns2.foo.bar =>
127.127.127.127
Usage
Usage: setup DOMAIN_NAME IP
setup foo.bar 1.1.1.1
setup -h
setup --help
Options:
-h, --help Print this help message
You can then monitor your Bind9 traffic like so:
foo@vm13407021391238:~$ sudo tail -f /var/log/named/named.log

Why
This is very useful when wanting to test for some very hairy vulnerabilities
such as XXE, SSRF and so on. You can inject payloads with random IDs and
subdomains like 8273781123-xxe.foo.bar and grep for it in your logs to
see if the payload ever executed.
This is also nice to do with Bind9 because:
- It's super fast, can handle being an open DNS resolver
- DNS outbound traffic is rarely filtered, even if HTTP is
