<section title="Introduction">
|
||||
<t>Passive DNS is a technique described by Florian Weimer in 2005 in Passive DNS replication, F Weimer - 17th Annual FIRST Conference on Computer Security. Since then multiple Passive DNS implementations evolved over time. Users of these Passive DNS servers query a server (often via Whois [Ref: WHOIS]), parse the results and process them in other applications.</t>
|
||||
<t>
|
||||
There are multiple implementation of Passive DNS software. Users of passive DNS query each implementation and aggregate the results for their search. This document describes the output format of three Passive DNS Systems which are in use today and which already share a nearly identical output format.
|
||||
|
||||
As the format and the meaning of output fields from each Passive DNS need to be consistent, we propose in this document a solution to commonly name each field along with their corresponding interpretation. The format format is following a simple key-value structure.
|
||||
The benefit of having a consistent Passive DNS output format is that multiple client implementations can query different servers without having to have a separate parser for each
|
||||
individual server. [http://code.google.com/p/passive-dns-query-tool/] currently implements multiple parsers due to a lack of standardization.
|
||||
|
||||
The document does not describe the protocol (e.g. whois, HTTP REST or XMPP) used to query the Passive DNS.
|
||||
</t>
|
||||
|
||||
<section title="Requirements Language">
|
||||
<t>The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
|
||||
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
|
||||
document are to be interpreted as described in <xref
|
||||
target="RFC2119">RFC 2119</xref>.</t>

||||
</section>
|

</section>
|
||||
|
||||
<section title="Limitation">
|
||||
<t> As a Passive DNS can include protection mechanisms for their operation, results might be different due to those protection measures. These mechanisms filter out DNS answers if they fail some criteria. The bailiwick algorithm (c.f. http://www.isc.org/files/passive_dns_hardening_handout.pdf) protects the Passive DNS Database from cache poisoning attacks [ref: Dan Kaminsky].
|
||||
|
||||
Another limitiation that clients querying the database need to be aware of is that each query simply gets an snapshot-answer of the time of querying. Clients MUST NOT rely on consistent answers.
|
||||
</t>
|
||||
</section>
|
||||
<section title="Format">
|
||||
<t>A field is composed a key followed by a value separated by the single ':' character and a space before the value. The format is based on the initial work done by Florian Weimer and the RIPE whois format (ref:http://www.enyo.de/fw/software/dnslogger/whois.html). The order of the fields is not significant for the same resource type. That measn, the same name tuple plus timing information identifies a unique answer per server.</t>
|
||||

|

count: 87
|

]]></artwork></figure>
|
||||
<section title="Output Format">
|
||||
<t>
|
||||
Depending on the clients request, there might be one of three different answers from the server: Whois (human readable) output format (key-value), <xref target="RFC4627">JSON</xref> output and optionally Bind zone file output format. XXX FIXME: how does the client select which answer format he wants? XXX
|
||||
</t>
|
||||
<section title="JSON">
|
||||
<t>The intent of this output format is to be easily parseable by scripts. Every implementation SHOULD support the JSON output format.</t>

The resource record type can be any values as described by IANA in the DNS parameters document in the section 'DNS Label types' (http://www.iana.org/assignments/dns-parameters).

|
||||
other minor corrections
|
||||
v03 2007-03-09 EBD Added comments on null IANA sections and fixed heading capitalization.
|
||||
Modified comments around figure to reflect non-implementation of
|
||||
figure indent control. Put in reference using anchor="DOMINATION".
|
||||
Fixed up the date specification comments to reflect current truth.
|
||||
v04 2007-03-09 AH Major changes: shortened discussion of PIs,
|
||||
added discussion of rfc include.
|
||||
v05 2007-03-10 EBD Added preamble to C program example to tell about ABNF and alternative
|

<section title="Introduction">
|
||||
<t>Passive DNS is a technique described by Florian Weimer in 2005 in Passive DNS replication, F Weimer - 17th Annual FIRST Conference on Computer Security. Since then multiple Passive DNS implementations evolved over time. Users of these Passive DNS servers query a server (often via Whois [Ref: WHOIS]), parse the results and process them in other applications.</t>
|
||||
<t>
|
||||
There are multiple implementation of Passive DNS software. Users of passive DNS query each implementation and aggregate the results for their search. This document describes the output format of three Passive DNS Systems which are in use today and which already share a nearly identical output format.
|
||||
|
||||
As the format and the meaning of output fields from each Passive DNS need to be consistent, we propose in this document a solution to commonly name each field along with their corresponding interpretation. The format format is following a simple key-value structure.
|
||||
The benefit of having a consistent Passive DNS output format is that multiple client implementations can query different servers without having to have a separate parser for each
|
||||
individual server. [http://code.google.com/p/passive-dns-query-tool/] currently implements multiple parsers due to a lack of standardization.
|
||||
|
||||
The document does not describe the protocol (e.g. whois, HTTP REST or XMPP) used to query the Passive DNS.
|
||||

||||
<section title="Requirements Language">
|
||||
<t>The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
|
||||
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
|
||||
document are to be interpreted as described in <xref
|
||||
target="RFC2119">RFC 2119</xref>.</t>

|

|
||||
<section title="Limitation">
|
||||
<t> As a Passive DNS can include protection mechanisms for their operation, results might be different due to those protection measures. These mechanisms filter out DNS answers if they fail some criteria. The bailiwick algorithm (c.f. http://www.isc.org/files/passive_dns_hardening_handout.pdf) protects the Passive DNS Database from cache poisoning attacks [ref: Dan Kaminsky].
|
||||
|
||||
Another limitiation that clients querying the database need to be aware of is that each query simply gets an snapshot-answer of the time of querying. Clients MUST NOT rely on consistent answers.
|
||||
</t>
|
||||
</section>
|
||||
<section title="Format">
|
||||
<t>A field is composed a key followed by a value separated by the single ':' character and a space before the value. The format is based on the initial work done by Florian Weimer and the RIPE whois format (ref:http://www.enyo.de/fw/software/dnslogger/whois.html). The order of the fields is not significant for the same resource type. That measn, the same name tuple plus timing information identifies a unique answer per server.</t>

|
||||
<section title="Output Format">
|
||||
<t>
|
||||
Depending on the clients request, there might be one of three different answers from the server: Whois (human readable) output format (key-value), <xref target="RFC4627">JSON</xref> output and optionally Bind zone file output format. XXX FIXME: how does the client select which answer format he wants? XXX
|
||||
</t>
|
||||
<section title="JSON">
|
||||
<t>The intent of this output format is to be easily parseable by scripts. Every implementation SHOULD support the JSON output format.</t>

decimal value is returned.

The resource record type can be any values as described by IANA in the DNS parameters document in the section 'DNS Label types' (http://www.iana.org/assignments/dns-parameters).
|

Currently known and supported textual descritptions of rrtypes are: A, AAAA, CNAME, PTR, SOA, TXT, DNAME, NS, SRV, RP, NAPTR, HINFO, A6
|

A client MUST be able to understand these textual rtype values. In addition, a client MUST be able to handle a decimal value (as mentioned above) as answer.
