fpdns - Fingerprinting DNS servers
|
|
|
|
A nameserver basically responds to a query. Interoperability is an
|
|
obvious requirement here. The standard protocol behaviour of different
|
|
DNS implementations is expected to be the same.
|
|
|
|
Requirements for protocol behaviour of DNS implementations is widely
|
|
documented in the case of 'common' dns messages. The DNS protocol
|
|
is over 20 years old and since its inception, there have been over
|
|
40 independent DNS implementations, while some implementations have
|
|
over 20 versions.
|
|
|
|
The methodology used to identify individual nameserver implementations
|
|
is based on "borderline" protocol behaviour. The DNS protocol offers
|
|
a multitude of message bits, response types, opcodes, classes, query
|
|
types and label types in a fashion that makes some mutually exclusive
|
|
while some are not used in a query messages at all. Not every
|
|
implementation offers the full set of features the DNS protocol set
|
|
currently has. Some implementations offer features outside the
|
|
protocol set, and there are implementations that do not conform to
|
|
standards.
