North-south security – traffic from internal devices to the internet – is enforced at the Zone Server egress by two mandatory validation steps. First, every outbound connection must have a corresponding DNS8 lookup – no DNS lookup means no XLATE8 state table entry means the connection is blocked. Second, the destination ASN is validated against the WHOIS8 registry – if the destination prefix is not registered as an active route by a legitimately registered ASN holder the packet is dropped. These two steps together eliminate the primary malware command-and-control channel: connection to hardcoded IP addresses without DNS resolution.
At the global routing level, BGP8 route advertisements are validated against WHOIS8 before installation in the routing table. A route that cannot be validated is not installed. Manual bogon filter list maintenance is eliminated. Prefix hijacking is architecturally difficult – an attacker must compromise both an RIR registry entry and produce a validly signed WHOIS8 record.
This bothers me. It is no longer the Internet as it was. DNS becomes the primary means of addressing, not IP address.
Yeah…it wasn’t too bad at first but then I saw this stuff and all I can think of is “who controls what’s valid”?
Goodbye privacy, anonymity, and any semblance of liberty.
And this means that blocking domains becomes easier.
