[squid-users] Response Blocked from sites with multiple IPs (Host Header Forgery)

Mon Jun 13 09:13:44 UTC 2016

Thank You Amos Jeffries & Eliezer Croitoru

Issue was resolved.

Here is how it's was resolved FYI.
I installed pdns_recursor and redirected all DNS queries to it.
But it didn't work directly , I have a MikroTik router in the path to squid that I discovered it replies to DNS queries even when allow-remote-requests is set to false.
MikroTik router used 8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4 as DNS so I changed it pdns_recursor.

and it worked !

Now nslookup from any where returns the same IPs Every time.

Thank you again.

Best Regards,
Eng Hooda

Hey,
There are couple options to do that.
Since you are using Debian8 the most used are:
-      Bind
-       Unbound
They both have a very simple installation and configuration.
The first step would be to let squid access the caching service.
If you can point your clients to this specific DNS host it would be good but if not and you are able toIntercept DNS traffic,
you can try to see how Interception of all8.8.8.8 and other dns services works.
You can use the iptables REDIRECT which is similar to what you might use in\for squid.
The next tutorial is for CentOS but have the needed configuration snippets that would work with any Unboundinstallation:
http://www.tecmint.com/setup-dns-cache-server-in-centos-7/
And another one which looks a bit different
https://calomel.org/unbound_dns.html
And another guide for ubnutu on using Bind as a caching dns service:
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-configure-bind-as-a-caching-or-forwarding-dns-server-on-ubuntu-14-04
Which should work almost the same for Debian.
If you need more details let me know.

Thank You for your response.
What is the best way to setup recursive resolver ?

 No, all of
 them claim to be in their reverse-DNS responses. That is  just  the IP address owners view of things.
 In the case of an attack its the
 attackers
 opinion about what you should believe. Not safe.

 Forward-DNS results which
 provide the domain owners authoritative list  of what IPs they are using. Say a different  message contradicting those  reverse-DNS  results ...

 Exactly. So do Squid and the
 client. Which means Squid is almost always  unable to see the IP the client is contacting  as being a valid one for  that domain.

 It is a problem caused by
 Google DNS.

 The best way to
 get around it is to setup a recursive resolver on your  network that is used by both Squid and clients.
 Diverting the client
 port 53 traffic to it
 if necessary.

 If you wish
 to use Google DNS after having that available, then
 8.8.8.8
 should be setup as a parent of that
 local resolver. Not as something
 Squid or
 client contact separately.

 That setup makes the google DNS results more  often be cached in the  shared resolver for  long enough that Squid can see it when it does the  validation steps.

 NP: there are other causes of this known,  related to connection  persistence, and  SSL-Bump SNI being validated. They are bugs in Squid  and still being worked on fixing. So dont  expect the above to solve all  instances of  it.
