Open DNS resolvers are resolvers that perform recursive resolution on behalf of any user. They can be exploited by adversaries because they are open to the public and require no authorization to use. Therefore, it is important to understand the state of open resolvers to gauge their potentially negative impact on the security and stability of the Internet. In this study, we conducted a comprehensive probing over the entire IPv4 address space and found that more than 3 million open resolvers still exist in the wild. More importantly, we found that many open resolvers answer queries with the incorrect, even malicious, responses. Contrasting to results obtained in 2013, we found that the number of open resolvers has decreased significantly, while the number of open resolvers providing malicious responses has increased.
