Hi,
I am in the process to migrate from unbound to knot-resolver.
This is on FreeBSD 14-STABLE, knot-resolver 5.7.1, and on a very small instance serving a handful users, around 100 mails a day and such.
The resolver is up and running, but I still have some questions left I cannot answer myself after reading the documentation et al.
1) I managed to run 'kres-cache-gc -c /var/run/kresd' but I am unsure whether I do need the garbage collector at all?
I read that after filling up of '/var/run/kresd/data.mdb' that file would become reset to 0 bytes, correct?
FYI: After 3 days '/var/run/kresd/data.mdb' uses less than 1 MB currently.
2) Does knot-resolver automatically update 'root.hints' and 'root.keys', or do I have to install a script in crontab doing the updates instead?
FYI: I didn't unload the modules 'ta_signal_query' and 'ta_sentinel‘
3) I am still struggeling to understand, how to get access to the statistics produced by the module 'stats'?
FYI: If I do try to use knotc (I know, it's experimental), I'll get:
|dns> kresc /var/run/kresd/control/17158
|Warning! kresc is highly experimental, use at own risk.
|Please tell authors what features you expect from client utility.
|
FYI: There is no 'kresd>' prompt …
I tried to modify that socket's privileges but to no avail.
4) If that socket is the way to get hold on all statistics information, how can one name that socket file? Currently, it is just the PID of kresd.
Thanks in advance and regards,
Michael

Hello,
I am trying to figure out why some domain names are not resolving on my
instance of Knot resolver over DoH with some clients. I was able to
reproduce this issue with [doh](https://github.com/curl/doh) client built
on libcurl. The problem never manifests with kdig (neither with DoH, nor
DoT nor Do53).
During this, I noticed something strange. For domain name github.com (which
sometimes returns no A record), I always receive an answer with TTL set to
60. It seems like this name does not get cached at all. See the test output
below.
Interestingly, if I delete cache files and restart the resolver, the TTL
starts decreasing as expected. Is this a sign that something was wrong with
the cache before? Or is this some sort of cache optimization for low TTL
records?
Here is the test output:
$ for i in `seq 1 5`; do ./doh github.comhttps://nscache.mtg.ripe.net/dns-query ; echo "----"; kdig +https +noadflag
+nocookie +noall +answer github.com A @nscache.mtg.ripe.net ; echo "====";
sleep 1; done
[github.com]

Komentator -Liga Champions✔️✔️ Owen Hargreaves mengatakan bahwa “semua orang akan terpukul” oleh penampilan buruk Bayern Munich baru-baru ini, kali ini setelah kalah dari Lazio di leg pertama babak 16 besar Liga Champions.
Situs web: https://svipbola.com/liga/liga-champions
Pertandingan Liga Champions“Mereka perlu menemukan cara untuk mempercepat permainan dan menjadi sedikit lebih cepat. Mereka melewati fase ini di bawah asuhan Pep dan memainkan sepakbola terindah. Hari ini mereka bahkan tidak memainkan sepakbola indah.”
Jadwal Liga Champions - dengan meningkatnya perhatian media terhadap manajer dan pemain, mantan gelandang Manchester United dan pemenang Liga Champions Hargreaves tidak berharap tim tamu mendapat ulasan positif atas penampilan seperti itu.
Liga Champions 2023⭐“Ketika Anda bermain untuk tim papan atas, saya tahu orang-orang tidak ingin mendengarnya, namun ketika Anda bermain seperti itu, Anda akan dikritik. Saya pikir akan ada banyak rasa frustrasi di dalam dan di sekitar Bayern saat ini.”

Dear Knot Resolver users,
Knot Resolver versions 5.7.1 (stable) and 6.0.6 (early-access) have been
released!
These releases include important security fixes, an update is strongly
advised!
Security:
- CVE-2023-50868: NSEC3 closest encloser proof can exhaust CPU
* validator: lower the NSEC3 iteration limit (150 -> 50)
* validator: similarly also limit excessive NSEC3 salt length
* cache: limit the amount of work on SHA1 in NSEC3 aggressive cache
* validator: limit the amount of work on SHA1 in NSEC3 proofs
* validator: refuse to validate answers with more than 8 NSEC3 records
- CVE-2023-50387 "KeyTrap": DNSSEC verification complexity
could be exploited to exhaust CPU resources and stall DNS resolvers.
Solution boils down mainly to limiting crypto-validations per packet.
We would like to thank Elias Heftrig, Haya Schulmann, Niklas Vogel
and Michael Waidner
from the German National Research Center for Applied Cybersecurity ATHENE
for bringing this vulnerability to our attention.
Improvements:
- update addresses of B.root-servers.net (!1478)
Bugfixes:
- fix potential SERVFAIL deadlocks if net.ipv6 = false (#880)
The update affects how some cached records are being treated, which may
trip up some sanity checking mechanisms in Knot Resolver if you have
advanced debugging options enabled (disabled by default),
"debugging.assertion_abort" for version 5 (Lua) and
"logging/debugging/assertation-abort" for version 6 (YAML). In case you
encounter any issues, please try clearing the cache first.

Dear Knot Resolver users,
last week a long-lasting bug in our mailing system has been discovered,
which, over the past two years, blocked quite a few e-mails from being
delivered to the list <knot-resolver-users(a)lists.nic.cz> and a few
others (namely the <knot-dns-users(a)lists.nic.cz>, whose subscriber Juha
Suhonen initially brought our attention to the issue - a thank you to
Juha is in order!).
This week the issue has been resolved and the blocked e-mails came
through. Some of these were our own, namely the Knot Resolver 5.5.0
release announcement, which is obviously outdated, as the current stable
version is Knot Resolver 5.7.0. We apologize for any confusion this
situation may have caused. Some others are still awaiting additional
approval, so after we manually identify, which are still relevant, and
which are spam, they will also come through during the following weeks.
Furthermore, later today we are planning to release new versions of the
stable Knot Resolver 5 and the early-access Knot Resolver 6. These
important updates will mitigate a few newfound DoS issues, the details
of which will soon be revealed globally. We are fully aware that this
unfortunate timing may cause further confusion, so we opted to inform
you, the subscribers, beforehand, that this next release e-mail is
indeed relevant.
We once again apologize for the confusion.
Best regards
Oto Šťáva

OK, figured out my mistake.
internalDomains MUST APPEAR BEFORE any reference to it.
Thanks for your time,
