A group of researchers from Tel Aviv University and the Interdisciplinary Center in Herzliya (Israel) has developed a new NXNSAttack (PDF) method, allowing any DNS resolvers to be used as traffic amplifiers, achieving an amplification factor of up to 1621 times in the number of packets (for every query sent to the resolver, 1621 queries can be sent to the victim's server) and up to 163 times in traffic. The issue […]
