simple dns rebinding protection with dnsmasq

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



dnsmasq (http://www.thekelleys.org.uk/dnsmasq/doc.html) a popular DHCP
and DNS forwarder and cache server used on many DSL/Cable routers now
has a simple DNS Rebinding protection mechanism. When executed with the
--stop-dns-rebind option the DNS resolver in dnsmasq will filter out
private IP addresses (127.0.0.0/8, 192.168.0.0/16, 10.0.0.0/8,
172.16.0.0/12 and 169.254.0.0/16). This should be sufficient for most
private/home users.

Feedback welcome.
