- Add validated mitre_attack frontmatter to all 754 skills (286 distinct techniques), verified against MITRE ATT&CK v19.1 via the official mitreattack-python library: 0 revoked, deprecated, or invalid IDs - Curate precise per-skill technique IDs for forensics, malware-analysis, threat-intel, and red-team skills (e.g. DCSync -> T1003.006, Kerberoasting -> T1558.003, Pass-the-Ticket -> T1550.003) - Reconcile v19.1 tactic restructuring: Defense Evasion split into Stealth (TA0005) and Defense Impairment (TA0112); revoked T1562.* family and T1070.001/.002 remapped to active equivalents (T1685.*) - Normalize word-split tags across 35 skills (remove filename-derived stopword tags, add semantic cybersecurity tags) - Add api-reference.md for 3 skills that were missing it - Update README ATT&CK section with accurate v19.1 tactic distribution

| performing-dns-tunneling-detection | Detects DNS tunneling by computing Shannon entropy of DNS query names, analyzing query length distributions, inspecting TXT record payloads, and identifying high subdomain cardinality. Uses scapy for packet capture analysis and statistical methods to distinguish legitimate DNS from covert channels. Use when hunting for data exfiltration. | cybersecurity | security-operations |

Performing DNS Tunneling Detection
When to Use
- When conducting security assessments that involve performing dns tunneling detection
- When following incident response procedures for related security events
- When performing scheduled security testing or auditing activities
- When validating security controls through hands-on testing
Prerequisites
- Familiarity with security operations concepts and tools
- Access to a test or lab environment for safe execution
- Python 3.8+ with required dependencies installed
- Appropriate authorization for any testing activities
Instructions
Analyze DNS traffic for indicators of DNS tunneling using entropy analysis and statistical methods on query name characteristics.
import math
from collections import Counter
def shannon_entropy(data):
if not data:
return 0
counter = Counter(data)
length = len(data)
return -sum((c/length) * math.log2(c/length) for c in counter.values())
# Legitimate domain: low entropy (~3.0-3.5)
print(shannon_entropy("www.google.com"))
# DNS tunnel: high entropy (~4.0-5.0)
print(shannon_entropy("aGVsbG8gd29ybGQ.tunnel.example.com"))
Key detection indicators:
- High Shannon entropy in query names (> 3.5 for subdomain labels)
- Unusually long query names (> 50 characters)
- High volume of TXT record requests to a single domain
- High unique subdomain count per parent domain
- Non-standard character distribution in labels
Examples
from scapy.all import rdpcap, DNS, DNSQR
packets = rdpcap("dns_traffic.pcap")
for pkt in packets:
if pkt.haslayer(DNSQR):
query = pkt[DNSQR].qname.decode()
entropy = shannon_entropy(query)
if entropy > 4.0:
print(f"Suspicious: {query} (entropy={entropy:.2f})")
