In today's episode of "Can It Run Doom": DNS fucking TXT records.
Some absolute madlad (cough Adam Rice cough) compressed the entire shareware DOOM WAD, split it into around 1,964 chunks, shoved them into Cloudflare TXT records, and wrote a PowerShell script that reassembles and runs the whole goddamn game from DNS queries alone. Nothing touches disk. The DLLs are in DNS. THE FUCKING DLLS ARE IN DNS.
RFC 1035 was written in 1987. Those engineers are spinning in their graves fast enough to generate municipal power.
Bonus: this is a fully functional globally-distributed covert data exfil channel that your NGFW will never fucking see if you're not doing deep DNS inspection. Sleep well.

Also lmao @ every blue team that has never once looked at their DNS query volume. How's that DLP policy working out for you.
It was always DNS.
@k3ym0 I was at Defcon 12 when Kaminsky demoed sending voice over DNS. Glad to see the tradition continue.

@k3ym0 you may already know this, but on a related note you can tunnel basically any IPv4 traffic over DNS: https://code.kryo.se/iodine/

@k3ym0 "Bonus: this is a fully functional globally-distributed covert data exfil channel that your NGFW will never fucking see if you're not doing deep DNS inspection. Sleep well."
Doesn't work anymore for a decade. Most serious companies don't allow DNS queries to servers outside of their network. The only endpoints allowed to do that are the corporate internal DNS.
With DoH I'm also not sure that will work because of the corporate web proxy.To make data exfiltrations there are so many easy ways to do so ... Why spending time to make something over DNS when you can simply upload the files or exploit USB keys, it's not hard to bypass FW and EDR policies.
Most serious companies don't allow DNS queries to servers outside of their network.
Oh my sweet, sweet, child. If only this were true. I could name-drop several multi-billion $ enterprise orgs that still don’t do this.

@kajer @k3ym0 i was thinking of BookmarkFS

DNS outbound tends to be allowed even when other protocols are not. If you run your own DNS server you can use DNS to tunnel any traffic you want. @sabik @arichtman @k3ym0

@k3ym0 I'd be shocked if most blue teams are competent enough to figure out how to prevent the internal network from using DNS over HTTPS so they can inspect most DNS traffic now anyway -

@k3ym0 While DOOM is a pretty effective demo, I can't help but feel NES ROMs, which run anywhere from 24KB to 512KB would have been even more effective (and would seriously piss Nintendo off in the process, for a double win)

@k3ym0 I did long ago work out that DNS is jolly good at distributing fairly static hierarchical datasets, because it inherently caches. For instance, they were once used to route faxes to appropriate gateways on the old tpc.int email to fax service. I also worked out a postcode to address and postcode geocoding schema.
