DNS

Now that firefox has adopted dns over https will this require changes to the zeek dns and http modules?

Thanks

AFAIK, there isn’t anything zeek can do to peek into those dns over https requests because it is encrypted in a TLS session. I suppose something could be updated with a list of known DNS over HTTPS providers and traffic to those IP addresses somehow flagged as such.

I don’t trust the DNS over HTTPS providers any more than I trust my own DNS servers and so I’ve blocked them on my network.

The best thing to do is to disable the whole thing, at the network level.

Or on every Firefox, in network.trr.mode=5

How sending all of my DNS data by default to cloudflare is good for privacy is beyond me.
