Infoblox Raspberry Pi Workshop: Securing DNS to Stregthen Your Security Posture & Mitigate Cyber Risk


Event Date: October 11, 2022

Securing DNS can help reduce 92% of malware attacks from a command and control perspective, NSA Security Director Anne Neuberger stated in June 2020. Next-gen firewalls and endpoint tools, when used in orchestration with enterprise-grade DNS Security solutions, offer substantially better protection than firewalls and endpoint tools alone. DNS can be a powerful security control to defend against multiple threat vectors. This high-impact workshop will walk system engineers through the conceptual abstracts of DNS security and deliver hands-on experiential learning.

Workshop Focus:

  • DNS as a security control / DNS security
  • Methodology of a DNS based cyber-attack
  • Training on the fundamentals of DNS security
  • Hands-on generation of a DNS based data exfiltration event
  • Detection and analysis of such an event

To facilitate the workshop, the course utilized a Raspberry Pi configured as a DNS Sinkhole to demonstrate the initial concepts of Indicators of Compromise (IoC), DNS blacklists, and threat intelligence. 


Attendees were required to configure and install this device to support several labs, where they performed white hat hacking (ethical hacking) to further understand the scope of DNS attacks. The presentation included relevant material on how Infoblox can prevent and block a vast array of these types of attacks, including many methods outside the scope of this workshop.


This security workshop:

  • Brought attendees a unique and compelling event that provides an enhanced understanding of DNS security through both-lecture based education and hands-on technical training
  • Provided attendees with the foundational knowledge needed to address DNS threats and understand how easily hackers can commit these attacks
  • Demonstrated Infoblox’s security offerings as the industry-leading solution to stop these attacks

All attendees were shipped Training Courseware before the event which included:
  • Raspberry Pi
  • Infoblox DNS Security: Data Exfiltration Workshop Student Guide
  • DNS for Dummies Booklet
  • Infoblox Notebook
