Summary
This thesis investigates how three well known Authoritative DNS server implementations cope with selected attacks. To answer this question, we emulated a network containing the Authoritative server and its clients in GNS3. We implement the attack within the network and observed the vulnerabilities of the Authoritative server against the attack.
Our results showed that some attacks are not possible in certain implementations and other attacks cannot be mitigated by the implementation. From a security perspective, this thesis emphasizes the need to select the right implementation for the right scenario.
