SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-3.0-or-later + +.. default-domain:: py +.. module:: policy + +.. _mod-policy: + + +Query policies +============== + +This module can block, rewrite, or alter inbound queries based on user-defined policies. It does not affect queries generated by the resolver itself, e.g. when following CNAME chains etc. + +Each policy *rule* has two parts: a *filter* and an *action*. A *filter* selects which queries will be affected by the policy, and *action* which modifies queries matching the associated filter. + +Typically a rule is defined as follows: ``filter(action(action parameters), filter parameters)``. For example, a filter can be ``suffix`` which matches queries whose suffix part is in specified set, and one of possible actions is :any:`policy.DENY`, which denies resolution. These are combined together into ``policy.suffix(policy.DENY, {todname('badguy.example.')})``. The rule is effective when it is added into rule table using ``policy.add()``, please see examples below. + +This module is enabled by default because it implements mandatory :rfc:`6761` logic. +When no rule applies to a query, built-in rules for `special-use <https://www.iana.org/assignments/special-use-domain-names/special-use-domain-names.xhtml>`_ and `locally-served <http://www.iana.org/assignments/locally-served-dns-zones>`_ domain names are applied. +These rules can be overriden by action :any:`policy.PASS`. For debugging purposes you can also add ``modules.unload('policy')`` to your config to unload the module. + + +Filters +------- +A *filter* selects which queries will be affected by specified Actions_. There are several policy filters available in the ``policy.`` table: + +.. function:: all(action) + + Always applies the action. + +.. function:: pattern(action, pattern) + + Applies the action if query name matches a `Lua regular expression <http://lua-users.org/wiki/PatternsTutorial>`_. + +.. function:: suffix(action, suffix_table) + + Applies the action if query name suffix matches one of suffixes in the table (useful for "is domain in zone" rules). + +.. note:: For speed this filter requires domain names in DNS wire format, not textual representation, so each label in the name must be prefixed with its length. Always use convenience function :func:`policy.todnames` for automatic conversion from strings! For example: + + .. code-block:: lua + + policy.suffix(policy.DENY, policy.todnames({'example.com', 'example.net'})) + +.. function:: suffix_common(action, suffix_table[, common_suffix]) + + :param action: action if the pattern matches query name + :param suffix_table: table of valid suffixes + :param common_suffix: common suffix of entries in suffix_table + + Like :func:`policy.suffix` match, but you can also provide a common suffix of all matches for faster processing (nil otherwise). + This function is faster for small suffix tables (in the order of "hundreds"). + +.. :noindex: function:: rpz(default_action, path, [watch]) + + Implements a subset of `Response Policy Zone` (RPZ_) stored in zonefile format. See below for details: :func:`policy.rpz`. + +It is also possible to define custom filter function with any name. + +.. function:: custom_filter(state, query) + + :param state: Request processing state :c:type:`kr_layer_state`, typically not used by filter function. + :param query: Incoming DNS query as :c:type:`kr_query` structure. + :return: An `action <#actions>`_ function or ``nil`` if filter did not match. + + Typically filter function is generated by another function, which allows easy parametrization - this technique is called `closure <https://www.lua.org/pil/6.1.html>`_. An practical example of such filter generator is: + +.. code-block:: lua + + function match_query_type(action, target_qtype) + return function (state, query) + if query.stype == target_qtype then + -- filter matched the query, return action function + return action + else + -- filter did not match, continue with next filter + return nil + end + end + end + +This custom filter can be used as any other built-in filter. +For example this applies our custom filter and executes action :any:`policy.DENY` on all queries of type `HINFO`: + +.. code-block:: lua + + -- custom filter which matches HINFO queries, action is policy.DENY + policy.add(match_query_type(policy.DENY, kres.type.HINFO)) + + +.. _mod-policy-actions: + +Actions +------- +An *action* is a function which modifies DNS request, and is either of type *chain* or *non-chain*: + + * `Non-chain actions`_ modify state of the request and stop rule processing. An example of such action is :ref:`forwarding`. + * `Chain actions`_ modify state of the request and allow other rules to evaluate and act on the same request. One such example is :func:`policy.MIRROR`. + +Non-chain actions +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +Following actions stop the policy matching on the query, i.e. other rules are not evaluated once rule with following actions matches: + +.. py:attribute:: PASS + + Let the query pass through; it's useful to make exceptions before wider rules. For example: + + More specific whitelist rule must preceede generic blacklist rule: + + .. code-block:: lua + + -- Whitelist 'good.example.com' + policy.add(policy.pattern(policy.PASS, todname('good.example.com.'))) + -- Block all names below example.com + policy.add(policy.suffix(policy.DENY, {todname('example.com.')})) + +.. py:attribute:: DENY + + Deny existence of names matching filter, i.e. reply NXDOMAIN authoritatively. + +.. function:: DENY_MSG(message) + + Deny existence of a given domain and add explanatory message. NXDOMAIN reply contains an additional explanatory message as TXT record in the additional section. + +.. py:attribute:: DROP + + Terminate query resolution and return SERVFAIL to the requestor. + +.. py:attribute:: REFUSE + + Terminate query resolution and return REFUSED to the requestor. + +.. py:attribute:: TC + + Force requestor to use TCP. It sets truncated bit (*TC*) in response to true if the request came through UDP, which will force standard-compliant clients to retry the request over TCP. + +.. function:: REROUTE({{subnet,target}, ...}) + + Reroute IP addresses in response matching given subnet to given target, e.g. ``{'192.0.2.0/24', '127.0.0.0'}`` will rewrite '192.0.2.55' to '127.0.0.55', see :ref:`renumber module <mod-renumber>` for more information. See :func:`policy.add` and do not forget to specify that this is *postrule*. Quick example: + + .. code-block:: lua + + -- this policy is enforced on answers + -- therefore we have to use 'postrule' + -- (the "true" at the end of policy.add) + policy.add(policy.REROUTE({'192.0.2.0/24', '127.0.0.0'}), true) + +.. function:: ANSWER({ type = { rdata=data, [ttl=1] } }, [nodata=false]) + + Overwrite Resource Records in responses with specified values. + + * type + - RR type to be replaced, e.g. ``[kres.type.A]`` or `numeric value <https://www.iana.org/assignments/dns-parameters/dns-parameters.xhtml#dns-parameters-4>`_. + * rdata + - RR data in DNS wire format, i.e. binary form specific for given RR type. Set of multiple RRs can be specified as table ``{ rdata1, rdata2, ... }``. Use helper function :func:`kres.str2ip` to generate wire format for A and AAAA records. + * ttl + - TTL in seconds. Default: 1 second. + * nodata + - If type requested by client is not configured in this policy: + + - ``true``: Return empty answer (`NODATA`). + - ``false``: Ignore this policy and continue processing other rules. + + Default: ``false``. + + .. code-block:: lua + + -- policy to change IPv4 address and TTL for example.com + policy.add( + policy.suffix( + policy.ANSWER( + { [kres.type.A] = { rdata=kres.str2ip('192.0.2.7'), ttl=300 } } + ), { todname('example.com') })) + -- policy to generate two TXT records (specified in binary format) for example.net + policy.add( + policy.suffix( + policy.ANSWER( + { [kres.type.TXT] = { rdata={'\005first', '\006second'}, ttl=5 } } + ), { todname('example.net') })) + +More complex non-chain actions are described in their own chapters, namely: + + * :ref:`forwarding` + * `Response Policy Zones`_ + +Chain actions +^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +Following actions act on request and then processing continue until first non-chain action (specified in the previous section) is triggered: + +.. function:: MIRROR(ip_address) + + Send copy of incoming DNS queries to a given IP address using DNS-over-UDP and continue resolving them as usual. This is useful for sanity testing new versions of DNS resolvers. + + .. code-block:: lua + + policy.add(policy.all(policy.MIRROR('127.0.0.2'))) + +.. function:: FLAGS(set, clear) + + Set and/or clear some flags for the query. There can be multiple flags to set/clear. You can just pass a single flag name (string) or a set of names. Flag names correspond to :c:type:`kr_qflags` structure.

It's useful for debugging weird DNS clients. Verbose logging must be enabled using :func:`verbose` for this policy to be effective.

See caveats for :func:`policy.DEBUG_IF`. + +.. py:data:: DEBUG_CACHE_MISS + + Enable extra verbose logging but print logs only for requests which required information which was not available locally (i.e. requests which forced resolver to communicate over network). Intended usage is for debugging problems with remote servers.

This allows to fine-tune which requests should be printed. + + .. warning:: Verbose logging has significant performance impact on resolver and might also overload you logging system because one request can easily generate tens of kilobytes of logs. Always use appropriate `Filters`_ to limit number of requests triggering this action to a minimum! + + .. note:: ``test_function`` is evaluated only when request is finished. As a result verbose logs for all requests must be collected until request is finished because it is not possible to know beforehand how ``test_function`` at the end evaluates given request. When a request is finalized logs are either printed or thrown away. + + Example usage which gathers verbose logs for all requests in subtree ``dnssec-failed.org.`` and prints verbose logs for all requests finished with states different than ``kres.DONE`` (most importantly ``kres.FAIL``, see :c:type:`kr_layer_state`). + + .. code-block:: lua + + policy.add(policy.suffix( + policy.DEBUG_IF(function(req) + return (req.state ~= kres.DONE) + end), + policy.todnames({'dnssec-failed.org.'}))) + + +Custom actions +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +.. function:: custom_action(state, request) + + :param state: Request processing state :c:type:`kr_layer_state`. + :param request: Current DNS request as :c:type:`kr_request` structure. + :return: Returning a new :c:type:`kr_layer_state` prevents evaluating other policy rules. Returning ``nil`` creates a `chain action <#actions>`_ and allows to continue evaluating other rules. + + This is real example of an action function: + +.. code-block:: lua + + -- Custom action which generates fake A record + local ffi = require('ffi') + local function fake_A_record(state, req) + local answer = req:ensure_answer() + if answer == nil then return nil end + local qry = req:current() + if qry.stype ~= kres.type.A then + return state + end + ffi.C.kr_pkt_make_auth_header(answer) + answer:rcode(kres.rcode.NOERROR) + answer:begin(kres.section.ANSWER) + answer:put(qry.sname, 900, answer:qclass(), kres.type.A, '\192\168\1\3') + return kres.DONE + end + +This custom action can be used as any other built-in action. +For example this applies our *fake A record action* and executes it on all queries in subtree ``example.net``: + +.. code-block:: lua + + policy.add(policy.suffix(fake_A_record, policy.todnames({'example.net'}))) + +The action function can implement arbitrary logic so it is possible to implement complex heuristics, e.g. to deflect `Slow drip DNS attacks <https://secure64.com/water-torture-slow-drip-dns-ddos-attack>`_ or gray-list resolution of misbehaving zones. + +.. warning:: The policy module currently only looks at whole DNS requests. The rules won't be re-applied e.g. when following CNAMEs. + +.. _forwarding: + +Forwarding +---------- + +Forwarding action alters behavior for cache-miss events. If an information is missing in the local cache the resolver will *forward* the query to *another DNS resolver* for resolution (instead of contacting authoritative servers directly). DNS answers from the remote resolver are then processed locally and sent back to the original client. + +Actions :func:`policy.FORWARD`, :func:`policy.TLS_FORWARD` and :func:`policy.STUB` accept up to four IP addresses at once and the resolver will automatically select IP address which statistically responds the fastest. + +.. function:: FORWARD(ip_address) + FORWARD({ ip_address, [ip_address, ...] }) + + Forward cache-miss queries to specified IP addresses (without encryption), DNSSEC validate received answers and cache them. Target IP addresses are expected to be DNS resolvers. + + .. code-block:: lua + + -- Forward all queries to public resolvers https://www.nic.cz/odvr + policy.add(policy.all( + policy.FORWARD( + {'2001:148f:fffe::1', '2001:148f:ffff::1', + '185.43.135.1', '193.14.47.1'}))) + + A variant which uses encrypted DNS-over-TLS transport is called :func:`policy.TLS_FORWARD`, please see section :ref:`tls-forwarding`. + +.. function:: STUB(ip_address) + STUB({ ip_address, [ip_address, ...] }) + + Similar to :func:`policy.FORWARD` but *without* attempting DNSSEC validation. + Each request may be either answered from cache or simply sent to one of the IPs with proxying back the answer. + + This mode does not support encryption and should be used only for `Replacing part of the DNS tree`_. + Use :func:`policy.FORWARD` mode if possible. + + .. code-block:: lua + + -- Answers for reverse queries about the 192.168.1.0/24 subnet + -- are to be obtained from IP address 192.0.2.1 port 5353 + -- This disables DNSSEC validation! + policy.add(policy.suffix( + policy.STUB('192.0.2.1@5353'), + {todname('1.168.192.in-addr.arpa')})) + +.. note:: Forwarding targets must support + `EDNS <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extension_mechanisms_for_DNS>`_ and + `0x20 randomization <https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-vixie-dnsext-dns0x20-00>`_. + + +.. _tls-forwarding: + +Forwarding over TLS protocol (DNS-over-TLS) +------------------------------------------- +.. function:: TLS_FORWARD( { {ip_address, authentication}, [...] } ) + + Same as :func:`policy.FORWARD` but send query over DNS-over-TLS protocol (encrypted). + Each target IP address needs explicit configuration how to validate + TLS certificate so each IP address is configured by pair: + ``{ip_address, authentication}``. See sections below for more details. + + +Policy :func:`policy.TLS_FORWARD` allows you to forward queries using `Transport Layer Security`_ protocol, which hides the content of your queries from an attacker observing the network traffic. Further details about this protocol can be found in :rfc:`7858` and `IETF draft dprive-dtls-and-tls-profiles`_. + +Queries affected by :func:`policy.TLS_FORWARD` will always be resolved over TLS connection. Knot Resolver does not implement fallback to non-TLS connection, so if TLS connection cannot be established or authenticated according to the configuration, the resolution will fail. + +To test this feature you need to either :ref:`configure Knot Resolver as DNS-over-TLS server <tls-server-config>`, or pick some public DNS-over-TLS server. Please see `DNS Privacy Project`_ homepage for list of public servers. + +.. note:: Some public DNS-over-TLS providers may apply rate-limiting which + makes their service incompatible with Knot Resolver's TLS forwarding. + Notably, `Google Public DNS + <https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/docs/dns-over-tls>`_ doesn't + work as of 2019-07-10. + +When multiple servers are specified, the one with the lowest round-trip time is used. + +CA+hostname authentication +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ +Traditional PKI authentication requires server to present certificate with specified hostname, which is issued by one of trusted CAs. Example policy is: + +.. code-block:: lua + + policy.TLS_FORWARD({ + {'2001:DB8::d0c', hostname='res.example.com'}}) + +- ``hostname`` must be a valid domain name matching server's certificate. It will also be sent to the server as SNI_. +- ``ca_file`` optionally contains a path to a CA certificate (or certificate bundle) in `PEM format`_. + If you omit that, the system CA certificate store will be used instead (usually sufficient). + A list of paths is also accepted, but all of them must be valid PEMs. + +Key-pinned authentication +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ +Instead of CAs, you can specify hashes of accepted certificates in ``pin_sha256``. +They are in the usual format -- base64 from sha256. +You may still specify ``hostname`` if you want SNI_ to be sent. + +.. _tls-examples: + +TLS Examples +^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +.. code-block:: lua + + modules = { 'policy' } + -- forward all queries over TLS to the specified server + policy.add(policy.all(policy.TLS_FORWARD({{'192.0.2.1', pin_sha256='YQ=='}}))) + -- for brevity, other TLS examples omit policy.add(policy.all()) + -- single server authenticated using its certificate pin_sha256 + policy.TLS_FORWARD({{'192.0.2.1', pin_sha256='YQ=='}}) -- pin_sha256 is base64-encoded + -- single server authenticated using hostname and system-wide CA certificates + policy.TLS_FORWARD({{'192.0.2.1', hostname='res.example.com'}}) + -- single server using non-standard port + policy.TLS_FORWARD({{'192.0.2.1@443', pin_sha256='YQ=='}}) -- use @ or # to specify port + -- single server with multiple valid pins (e.g. anycast) + policy.TLS_FORWARD({{'192.0.2.1', pin_sha256={'YQ==', 'Wg=='}}) + -- multiple servers, each with own authenticator + policy.TLS_FORWARD({ -- please note that { here starts list of servers + {'192.0.2.1', pin_sha256='Wg=='}, + -- server must present certificate issued by specified CA and hostname must match + {'2001:DB8::d0c', hostname='res.example.com', ca_file='/etc/knot-resolver/tlsca.crt'} + }) + +Forwarding to multiple targets +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +With the use of :func:`policy.slice` function, it is possible to split the +entire DNS namespace into distinct slices. When used in conjuction with +:func:`policy.TLS_FORWARD`, it's possible to forward different queries to +different targets. + +.. function:: slice(slice_func, action[, action[, ...]) + + :param slice_func: slicing function that returns index based on query + :param action: action to be performed for the slice + + This function splits the entire domain space into multiple slices (determined + by the number of provided ``actions``). A ``slice_func`` is called to determine + which slice a query belongs to. The corresponding ``action`` is then executed. + + +.. function:: slice_randomize_psl(seed = os.time() / (3600 * 24 * 7)) + + :param seed: seed for random assignment + + The function initializes and returns a slicing function, which + deterministically assigns ``query`` to a slice based on the query name. + + It utilizes the `Public Suffix List`_ to ensure domains under the same + registrable domain end up in a single slice. (see example below) + + ``seed`` can be used to re-shuffle the slicing algorhitm when the slicing + function is initialized. By default, the assigment is re-shuffled after one + week (when resolver restart / reloads config). To force a stable + distribution, pass a fixed value. To re-shuffle on every resolver restart, + use ``os.time()``. + + The following example demonstrates a distribution among 3 slices:: + + slice 1/3: + example.com + a.example.com + b.example.com + x.b.example.com + example3.com + + slice 2/3: + example2.co.uk + + slice 3/3: + example.co.uk + a.example.co.uk + +These two functions can be used together to forward queries for names +in different parts of DNS name space to different target servers: + +.. code-block:: lua + + policy.add(policy.slice( + policy.slice_randomize_psl(), + policy.TLS_FORWARD({{'192.0.2.1', hostname='res.example.com'}}), + policy.TLS_FORWARD({ + -- multiple servers can be specified for a single slice + -- the one with lowest round-trip time will be used + {'193.17.47.1', hostname='odvr.nic.cz'}, + {'185.43.135.1', hostname='odvr.nic.cz'}, + }) + )) + +.. note:: The privacy implications of using this feature aren't clear. Since + websites often make requests to multiple domains, these might be forwarded + to different targets. This could result in decreased privacy (e.g. when the + remote targets are both logging or otherwise processing your DNS traffic). + The intended use-case is to use this feature with semi-trusted resolvers + which claim to do no logging (such as those listed on `dnsprivacy.org + <https://dnsprivacy.org/wiki/display/DP/DNS+Privacy+Test+Servers>`_), to + decrease the potential exposure of your DNS data to a malicious resolver + operator. + +.. _dns-graft: + +Replacing part of the DNS tree +------------------------------ + +Following procedure applies only to domains which have different content +publicly and internally. For example this applies to "your own" top-level domain +``example.`` which does not exist in the public (global) DNS namespace. + +Dealing with these internal-only domains requires extra configuration because +DNS was designed as "single namespace" and local modifications like adding +your own TLD break this assumption. + +.. warning:: Use of internal names which are not delegated from the public DNS + *is causing technical problems* with caching and DNSSEC validation + and generally makes DNS operation more costly. + We recommend **against** using these non-delegated names. + +To make such internal domain available in your resolver it is necessary to +*graft* your domain onto the public DNS namespace, +but *grafting* creates new issues: + +These *grafted* domains will be rejected by DNSSEC validation +because such domains are technically indistinguishable from an spoofing attack +against the public DNS. +Therefore, if you trust the remote resolver which hosts the internal-only domain, +and you trust your link to it, you need to use the :func:`policy.STUB` policy +instead of :func:`policy.FORWARD` to disable DNSSEC validation for those +*grafted* domains. + +Secondly, after disabling DNSSEC validation you have to solve another issue +caused by grafting. For example, if you grafted your own top-level domain +``example.`` onto the public DNS namespace, at some point the root server might +send proof-of-nonexistence proving e.g. that there are no other top-level +domain in between names ``events.`` and ``exchange.``, effectivelly proving +non-existence of ``example.``. + +These proofs-of-nonexistence protect public DNS from spoofing but break +*grafted* domains because proofs will be latter used by resolver +(when the positive records for the grafted domain timeout from cache), +effectivelly making grafted domain unavailable. +The easiest work-around is to disable reading from cache for grafted domains. + +.. code-block:: lua + :caption: Example configuration grafting domains onto public DNS namespace + + extraTrees = policy.todnames( + {'faketldtest.', + 'sld.example.', + 'internal.example.com.', + '2.0.192.in-addr.arpa.' -- this applies to reverse DNS tree as well + }) + -- Beware: the rule order is important, as policy.STUB is not a chain action. + policy.add(policy.suffix(policy.FLAGS({'NO_CACHE'}), extraTrees)) + policy.add(policy.suffix(policy.STUB({'2001:db8::1'}), extraTrees)) + +Response policy zones +--------------------- + .. warning:: + + There is no published Internet Standard for RPZ_ and implementations vary. + At the moment Knot Resolver supports limited subset of RPZ format and deviates + from implementation in BIND.
