THE CLOSED RESOLVER PROJECT

IP address spoofing has been a well-known security issue for a long time. It
enables potential attackers to change their genuine IP addresses and become
untraceable. The most efficient way to fight this problem is to perform packet
filtering at the network edge, also known as Source Address Validation (SAV).
Together with our partners from Université Grenoble Alpes we evaluate the SAV
deployment of inbound traffic by sending DNS A requests to local resolvers on
behalf of other hosts of tested networks. Not only we check filtering policies,
but also reveal closed resolvers, not seen from outside otherwise.


ARE YOU VULNERABLE?

Our partners from Université Grenoble Alpes periodically scan the whole routable
IPv4 address space and a targeted list of IPv6 addresses to identify vulnerable
networks. If you want to test your own network, please contact us.


RESULTS

We calculate the proportion of /24 IPv4 networks confirmed to be vulnerable to
inbound spoofing vs. all the networks per country. Note, that this is the lower
bound estimate of the problem. Check the map below:
