https://www.infoblox.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/for-company-blogs_edited-1-2-1.jpg660454More than four years ago, I wrote an in-depth article for Security Week describing Domain Name System (DNS) tunneling and signaling, and their uses for malware and other malicious activities, along with some sound advice on how to deal with them. That was of course prior to having an excellent solution for the problem like the Infoblox Threat Insight service to ferret out such abuses automatically.
