Can I prevent this scan? #4

Closed dnsconfused closed 8 years ago

dnsconfused commented 8 years ago

Other such "DNS scanning" services provide an opt-out. Does this have such a "feature"

To be honest, other than "mildly interesting" what good is this continual scan and zone transfer request of every NS? Please contact me for more info on why I wish this would stop.

Unless you are a TLD DNS provider you won't have a zone transfer attempted against your nameserver.

Do you currently run a TLD nameserver? If so you can trivially disable global zone transfers to prevent this.

Don't have an easy way to contact you but interested in hearing your use case, you can always email me at mandatory ( at ) gmail.com.

Was brought here by a trend list...

Sorry to post @mandatoryprogrammer, but I want the sub because this has me very curious.

It seems like @dnsconfused created a GitHub account for the sole purpose of finding ways around this simple log...

Same reason I subbed, 'cept I came from the DPRK leak.

Thanks for the input guys, I actually got an email from this person and will be following up there. I don't plan on adding exceptions to this project for a number of reasons, one of them being that it's just a false sense of security since other people will collect it anyways. Closing this thread since I'll follow up with the email.
