DNSteal : DNS Exfiltration Tool For Stealthily Sending Files Over DNS Requests

DNSteal is a fake DNS server that allows you to stealthily extract files from a victim machine through DNS requests. Below are a couple of different images showing examples of multiple file transfer and single verbose file transfer:

  • Support for multiple files
  • Gzip compression supported
  • Now supports the customisation of subdomains and bytes per subdomain and the length of filename

If you do not understand the help, then just use the program with default options!

python dnsteal.py 127.0.0.1 -z -v

This one would send 45 bytes per subdomain, of which there are 4 in the query. 15 bytes reserved for filename at the end.

python dnsteal.py 127.0.0.1 -z -v -b 45 -s 4 -f 15

This one would leave no space for filename.

python dnsteal.py 127.0.0.1 -z -v -b 63 -s 4 -f 0
