DNS Signature Lists

Does anyone know any free External Dynamic Lists for DNS signatures to use in conjunction with the Palo DNS Signatures? We would like some extra protection for our anti-spyware protection.

Thanks, Otakar. These are all IP lists though. I was looking for something for DNS sinkholing or blocking requests for malicious domains.

Hello,

Another thing to remember is that dns sinkholing is one of serveral defences that the PAN has. It also uses url filtering and I always recommend blocking the following categories:

command-and-control

dynamic-dns

malware

parked

phishing

unknown

Think of the sinkhole as your zero-day threat protection and the URL filter as the classic signature based approach.

Hope that helps.

@DPoppleton,

malwaredomains.com hosts a relatively decent list but it's only available in a zip file to the best of my knowledge, so you would need to do some manual work on your end for that. Otherwise ZeuS hosts one HERE that's updated on a regular basis and can be fed directly to the firewall.
