<ul>
|
||||
<li>DNS-over-TLS (DoT) - A security protocol for encrypted DNS on a dedicated port 853. Some providers support port 443 which generally works everywhere while port 853 is often blocked by restrictive firewalls. DoT has two modes:</li>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Oppurtunistic mode: the client attempts to form a DNS-over-TLS connection to the server on port 853 without performing certificate validation. If it fails, it will use unencrypted DNS. <span class="badge badge-warning" data-toggle="tooltip" data-original-title="In other words automatic mode leaves your DNS traffic vulnerable to SSL strip and MITM attacks"><i class="fas fa-exclamation-triangle"></i></span></li>
|
||||
<li>Strict mode: the client connects to a specific hostname and performs certificate validation for it. If it fails, no DNS queries are made until it succeeds.</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<li>DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) - Similar to DoT, but uses HTTPS instead, being indistinguishable from "normal" HTTPS traffic on port 443. <span class="badge badge-warning" data-toggle="tooltip" data-original-title="DoH contains metadata such as user-agent (which may include system information) that is sent to the DNS server."><a href="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8484#section-8.2"><i class="fas fa-exclamation-triangle"></i></a></span></li>

<ul>
|

<li>Check <a href="https://www.dnsleaktest.com/">DNSLeakTest.com</a>. <span class="badge badge-warning" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="bottom" data-original-title="Your DNS provider may not appear with their own name, so compare the responses to what you know or can find about your DNS provider. Just ensure you don't see your ISP or old unencrypted DNS provider."><i class="fas fa-exclamation-triangle"></i></span></li>
|
||||
<li>Check the website of your DNS provider. They may have a page for telling "you are using our DNS." Examples include <a href="https://adguard.com/en/adguard-dns/overview.html">AdGuard</a> and <a href="https://1.1.1.1/help">Cloudflare</a>.</li>
|
||||
<li>If using Firefox's trusted recursive resolver (TRR), navigate to <code>about:networking#dns</code>. If the TRR column says "true" for some fields, you are using DoH. <span class="badge badge-warning" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="bottom" data-original-title='Some fields will say "false" depending on the the value of network.trr.mode in about:config'><a href="https://wiki.mozilla.org/Trusted_Recursive_Resolver"><i class="fas fa-exclamation-triangle"></i></a></span></li>

<li>dnscrypt-proxy - Check <a href="https://github.com/jedisct1/dnscrypt-proxy/wiki/Checking">dnscrypt-proxy's wiki on how to verify that your DNS is encrypted</a>.</li>
|
||||
<li>DNSSEC - Check <a href="https://dnssec.vs.uni-due.de/">DNSSEC Resolver Test by Matthäus Wander</a>.</li>
|
||||
<li>QNAME Minimization - Run <code>dig +short txt qnamemintest.internet.nl</code> from the command-line (taken from <a href="https://nlnetlabs.nl/downloads/presentations/unbound_qnamemin_oarc24.pdf">this NLnet Labs presentation</a>). If you are on Windows 10, run <code>Resolve-DnsName -Type TXT -Name qnamemintest.internet.nl</code> from the PowerShell. You should see this display: <code>"HOORAY - QNAME minimisation is enabled on your resolver :)!"</code></li>

to bottom. Technically, Mail-in-a-Box turns a fresh cloud computer into a working mail server. But you don't need to be a technology expert to set it up. <strong>More: <a href="https://mailinabox.email/">https://mailinabox.email/</a></strong></p>

<p>When running a recent enough Linux kernel, you can check the CPU vulnerabilities it detects by <code>tail -n +1 /sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/*</code>. By using <code>tail -n +1</code> instead of <code>cat</code>, the file names are also visible.</p>
|

|

<p>
|

In case you have an Intel CPU, you may notice "SMT vulnerable" display after running the <code>tail</code> command. To mitigate this, disable <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyper-threading">hyper-threading</a> from the UEFI/BIOS. You can also take the following mitigation steps below if your system/distribution uses GRUB and supports <code>/etc/default/grub.d/</code>:
|

</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<ol>
|

<li><code>sudo mkdir /etc/default/grub.d/</code> to create a directory for additional grub configuration</li>

|
||||
<li><code>sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg</code> to generate a new grub config file including these new kernel boot flags</li>
|
||||
<li><code>sudo reboot</code> to reboot</li>
|
||||
<li>after the reboot, check <code>tail -n +1 /sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/*</code> again to see that everything referring to SMT now says "SMT disabled."</li>

<p>When running a recent enough Linux kernel, you can check the CPU vulnerabilities it detects by <code>tail -n +1 /sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/*</code>. By using <code>tail -n +1</code> instead of <code>cat</code>, the file names are also visible.</p>

You can also take the following mitigation steps below if your system/distribution uses GRUB and supports <code>/etc/default/grub.d/</code>:

<li><code>sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg</code> to generate a new grub config file including these new kernel boot flags</li>
|
||||
<li><code>sudo reboot</code> to reboot</li>
|

<li>after the reboot, check <code>tail -n +1 /sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/*</code> again to see that everything referring to SMT now says "SMT disabled."</li>

<li>DNS-over-TLS (DoT) - A security protocol for encrypted DNS on a dedicated port 853. Some providers support port 443 which generally works everywhere while port 853 is often blocked by restrictive firewalls. DoT has two modes:</li>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Oppurtunistic mode: the client attempts to form a DNS-over-TLS connection to the server on port 853 without performing certificate validation. If it fails, it will use unencrypted DNS. <span class="badge badge-warning" data-toggle="tooltip" data-original-title="In other words automatic mode leaves your DNS traffic vulnerable to SSL strip and MITM attacks"><i class="fas fa-exclamation-triangle"></i></span></li>
|
||||
<li>Strict mode: the client connects to a specific hostname and performs certificate validation for it. If it fails, no DNS queries are made until it succeeds.</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<li>DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) - Similar to DoT, but uses HTTPS instead, being indistinguishable from "normal" HTTPS traffic on port 443. <span class="badge badge-warning" data-toggle="tooltip" data-original-title="DoH contains metadata such as user-agent (which may include system information) that is sent to the DNS server."><a href="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8484#section-8.2"><i class="fas fa-exclamation-triangle"></i></a></span></li>
