DNS Tunneling & Data Exfiltration

6 questions · intermediate

This quiz tests your technical knowledge of DNS tunneling mechanics, protocol encoding constraints, bi-directional payload transfer, and network detection analytics. You will be evaluated on label length limits, Base32 single-case encoding requirements, recursive resolver proxying, header flag bits, Shannon entropy scoring, and behavioral detection signatures.

Why do DNS tunneling utilities prefer Base32 (or Base32hex) over standard Base64 when encoding arbitrary binary data into FQDN subdomains, and what structural limits apply to each label?
