SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-3.0-or-later .. _mod-rebinding: Rebinding protection ==================== This module provides protection from `DNS Rebinding attack`_ by blocking answers which cointain IPv4_ or IPv6_ addresses for private use (or some other special-use addresses). To enable this module insert following line into your configuration file: .. code-block:: lua modules.load('rebinding < iterate') Please note that this module does not offer stable configuration interface yet. For this reason it is suitable mainly for public resolver operators who do not need to whitelist certain subnets. .. warning:: DNS Blacklists (`RFC 5782`_) often use `127.0.0.0/8` to blacklist a domain. Using the rebinding module prevents DNSBL from functioning properly. .. _`DNS Rebinding attack`: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNS_rebinding .. _IPv4: https://www.iana.org/assignments/iana-ipv4-special-registry/iana-ipv4-special-registry.xhtml .. _IPv6: https://www.iana.org/assignments/iana-ipv6-special-registry/iana-ipv6-special-registry.xhtml .. _`RFC 5782`: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5782#section-2.1
