6. Security Considerations 6. Privacy Considerations
Passive DNS Servers collect DNS answers from multiple collecting
points ("sensors") which are located on the Internet-facing side of
DNS recursors. In this process, they intentionally omit the source
IP, source port, destination IP and destination port. Furthermore,
since multiple sensors feed into a passive DNS server, the resulting
data gets mixed together, reducing the likelyhood that Passive DNS
Servers are able to find out much about the actual person querying
the DNS records nor who actually sent the query. In this sense,
passive DNS Servers are similar to keeping an archive of all previous
phone books -- if public DNS records can be compared to phone
numbers, as they often are. Nevertheless, the authors encourage
Passive DNS implementors to take special care of privacy issues.
draft-bortzmeyer-dnsop-dns-privacy-01.txt is an excellent starting
point for this. Finally, the overall recommendations in RFC6973
[RFC6973] should be taken into consideration when designing any
application which uses Passive DNS data.
