Once Upon a Time in the West - A story on DNS Attacks

Ruth Esmeralda Barbacil, Valentina Palacin at Global AppSec Tel Aviv 2019

Just like in Old West movies, we are going through a land riddle with well-known gunmen: OceanLotus, DNSpionage and OilRig among others, who roam at ease, while the security cowboys sleep. This presentation will uncover the toolset and techniques used by these gunmen, taking a closer look at their big guns and their behavioral patterns. We will explore the attacks involving DNS that took place during the last decade to examine the latest discovered techniques in order to improve detections to dodge the bullets they are firing in our direction.
