Introduction

Blocks access to DNS servers for a specific duration.

Details

Note: If you are going to attack containers using network attacks, all containers in the target's linux network namespace (e.g. all containers belonging to the same Kubernetes Pod or Replica Set) will be affected. In case you want to target the traffic of a single container in the namespace you can for example use the port parameter to limit the blast radius.

Use Cases

• Understand how your services behave under dns outages or failures
• Simulate a DDoS attack on your DNS servers
• Maintenance of the authoritative name servers
• Simulate Bad configuration of DNS servers
