Abstract

In the context of connecting different information systems, the resolution of domain addresses is a key process of identification of stakeholders in the wider environment of the IT infrastructure, which in the case of faulty configuration can pose a risk of abuse by attackers. Due to the growing complexity of the infrastructure, the amount of such attack vectors on information systems has been increasing recently. In this article, we delve deeper into the operation of protocols for the multicast name resolution in networks and their potential abuse. On typical examples, we show ways of using various tools that can be used to carry out such attacks relatively easily. According to the demonstration of the attacks, we then show various mitigations of the displayed attacks, with which the displayed attacks can be sufficiently limited.
