Intelligence Gathering on An Edge Network by Using DNS Approach
Sankalp Dogra, Manisha J. Nene · 2022
Domain Name System (DNS) is in a league of its own among distributed directory services when it comes to building and using networked information systems. Internet of Things (IoT) network is increasingly turning to the network edge as a means of decreasing latency and conserving bandwidth. The purpose of edge network is to offload processing from remote servers and onto devices connected to the Internet of Things. A group of individuals with malicious intent of conducting activities like spamming and denial-of service attacks actively seeks to take direct control of such systems. Active (reconnaissance) and passive (surveillance) information exposure by or to external entities is compared in this paper. Further an effort has also been made to investigate the extent to which local IT resources are subject to either direct or indirect control by profit making organizations.
