Hi list, I am facing a serious problem here. My client works as an ISP and
somebody is injecting parameters in their DNS tables/files.

This isn't very fun.


DNS Server: bind 9.2.2 # I am focusing my attention here, looking for bugs.

bind 9.2.2 is really pretty tight.

Have you paid careful attention to the
"allow-update" and "allow-transfer" parameters.

Also, Some folks integrate Windows Active Directory
with bind 9. I don't know anything about that, but
it sounds really scary.


Here it goes a scanner showing my open ports.

Port       State       Service
21/tcp     open        ftp
23/tcp     open        telnet

You are running telnet. Lose it unless
there is a REAL good reason for running it.


25/tcp     open        smtp
53/tcp     open        domain
80/tcp     open        http
110/tcp    open        pop-3
113/tcp    open        auth
143/tcp    open        imap2



In this server we do not allow telnet/rsh or any shell connection.

Yes you do.

Thanks a lot and sorry about my poor English

Your english is just fine. Don't worry about it.
