DNS Tunnel Mitigation v2
Problem this snippet solves: (Solution from Pedro Haoa) Due to some people attempt DNS tunneling to pass data frames inside of DNS records to the Internet and the lack of information around here, I'm going to share with you some basic code for DNS Tunnel Mitigation on the BIG-IPs. This irule put some overhead in your CPU so check it with caution. The idea is to improve this code (I'm looking for less overhead) here in DevCentral and try to build a better base solution for the most common techniques. You can use the DNS Protocol Security, DNS Anti-DDoS and IP Intelligence features to get the most comprehensive solution. Remember that there are a lot of DNS Tunneling utilities with a wide range of capabilities and options, so this is one of many forms to mitigate some of the attacks. How to use this snippet: LTM + AFM + DNS Services BIG-IP AFM (Protocol Security) In Security ›› Protocol Security : Security Profiles : DNS ›› Create a New Security Profile and exclude obsolete record types like MD, MF, MAILA, NULL, HINFO, SPF, etc. Then apply to your DNS profile associated with your Listener.

DNS tunneling mitigation v2 iRule lost - where is it?
In the old Devcentral there was an enhanced & more complex iRule to protect against DNS Tunneling. Old link was https://devcentral.f5.com/questions/dns-tunneling-mitigation with iRule v2. I cannot find it anymore after the Devcentral upgrade. Has anyone a copy of the iRule or working link?
