Abstract

See full text

Systems and methods for creating a list of trustworthy resolvers in a domain name system. A computer receives a resolver profile for a resolver sending queries to a domain name server. The resolver profile is based on one or more of a top-talker status of the resolver, a normalcy of distribution of domain names queried, a continuity of distribution of query type, and an IP time-to-live variance of queries from the resolver. Resolver profiles can be compared to a trust policy to determine whether the resolver is trustworthy. Resolvers deemed trustworthy can be added to a list of trustworthy resolvers. Embodiments can detect the occurrence of a network-based attack. Embodiments can mitigate the effect of a network-based attack by responding only to queries from resolvers on the list of trustworthy resolvers.
