DNS is everywhere.

I hate DNS.

I hate DNS migrations.

I hate having a hundred plus DNS names inside my brain.

I hate resolving issues.

I hate DNSSEC.

I hate CNAMES.

I hate services which cannot be persuaded to stop trying AAAA resolves first.

I hate the fucking stupid braindead idea to use TXT as a configuration store inside DNS... And thus the necessity to blow up DNS query size aka EDNS.

I really really really really really want to burn this whole mfucking shit down...

@asgs that would be marvelous.

Or at least break it down to simple A / AAAA / SOA / MX record plus PTR.

I just control DNS with terraform in Cloudflare and did not really have any issues

Did you already hardened your DNS against it being used as a mirror for reflection attacks?

@Oktokolo yeah... It's mostly internal, but yes.

Unbound / NSD ftw.

EDNS and it's increase of possible payload made amplification/ mirror attacks pretty evil.

Not only becomes the quantity of requests a problem, but the bandwidth, too.

I think it was 4 kb for EDNS... Not much, unless you use amplification / mirroring...

Then the jump from 0.5 kb to 4 kb really hurts.
