Other than being non-compliant, is an "ANY" query used by any major software? Could someone rate limit ANY responses to mitigate this particular issue? On Fri, Dec 2, 2011 at 8:17 AM, Leland Vandervort < leland@taranta.discpro.org> wrote:
Yup.. they're all "ANY" requests. The varying TTLs indicates that they're most likely spoofed. We are also now seeing similar traffic from RFC1918 "source" addresses trying to ingress our network (but being stopped by our border filters).
Looks like the kiddies are playing....

Yes it is, but the problem is that our servers are "attacking" the so called source address. All the answers are going back to the "source". It is huge amplification attacks. (some sort of smurf if you want) The ip addresses are spoofed (We did a capture and saw all different ttl's so coming from behind different hops) And yes we saw the ANY queries for all
andrew.wallace@rocketmail.com the domains.
I still wonder how it is still possible that ip addresses can be
spoofed nowadays
We're a smaller shop and started receiving these queries last night, roughly 1000 queries per minute or less. We're seeing that the source (victim) addresses are changing every few minutes, the TTLs vary within a given source address, and while most of the source/victim addresses have been Chinese we are seeing a few which are not, such as 74.125.90.83 (Google). The queries are coming in to ns1.traffiq.com (perhaps ns2 also, I haven't checked) and are for traffiq.com/ANY which unfortunately gives a 492 byte response.

Rob,
Transit providers can bill for the denial of service traffic and they
claim it's too expensive to run URPF because of the extra lookup.
