Abstract

As a network protocol, Domain Name System (DNS) is prone to a number of security flaws. For address some of DNS's weaknesses, a new protocol called DNS over HTTPS (DoH) is being developed to increase privacy and guard against certain persistent assaults. To avoid eavesdropping and man-in-the-middle attacks, the DoH protocol encrypts DNS requests for the DoH client and sends them over a tunnel. This study paper thoroughly investigates these security flaws, offers a taxonomy of probable DNS attacks, examines the security features of the DoH protocol, and categorises DNS attacks applicable to DoH. I simulated DoH tunnels to attain these goals.
