084 – MDNS spoofing
Description
The configuration of the MDNS services allows an attacker to spoof IP addresses effectively hijacking them or causing a denial-of-service. Alternatively, due to a lack of certain security measures, it is possible to intercept requests to mDNS services and obtain information about the connected devices.
Impact
Attack vector because it is possible to extract administrative credentials from the process cache.
Recommendation
Disable LLMR and NBT-NS. Configure the firewall to filter incoming connections from UDP 5353 port.
Threat
Anonymous attacker from local network.
