NAME
generaterecords - generates a test dnssec zone that can be used to DNSSEC
SYNOPSIS
generaterecords -v -d mytestzone.example.com
DESCRIPTION
The generaterecords script generates a zone file, given a domain name, which is then signed and modified
to invalidate portions of the data in particular ways. Each generated record is named appropriately to
how the security data is modified (the gooda record will contain a A record with valid DNSSEC data, but
the badseca record will contain an A record where the signature has been modified to invalidate it).
The results of this process can then be served and test secure validators, applications, and other
software can be thrown at it to see if they properly fail or succeed under the dns security policies
being deployed.
After the files are generated, consider running donuts on them to see how the data in them has been
tampered with to be invalid.
PRE-REQUISITES
zonesigner from the dnssec-tools project bind software 9.3.1 or greater
GETTING STARTED
To get started creating a new zone, you'll need to tell zonesigner to create new keys for all of the new
zones that maketestzone creates. Thus, the first run of maketestzone should look like:
First Time:
maketestzone -k [OTHER DESIRED OPTIONS]
After that, the generated zone files can be loaded and served in a test server.
Once every 30 days (by default via zonesigner) the script will need to be rerun to recreate the records
and resign the data so the signature date stamps remain valid (or in some cases invalid).
Every 30 days:
maketestzone [OTHER DESIRED OPTIONS]

ADDING NEW OUTPUT
The following section discusses how to extend the maketestzone tool with new output modifications.
ADDING LEGEND INFORMATION
For the legend HTML output, the %LegendInformation hash contains a keyname and description for each
modification type.
ADDING NEW SUBZONE DIFFERENCES
The %zonesigner_domain_opts hash lists additional arguments between how zonesigner is called for various
sub-domains. Thus you can create additional sub-zones with different zonesigner optionns to test other
operational parameters between parent and child. For example:
'rollzsk-ns.' . $opts{'d'} => '-rollzsk',
Forces the rollzsk-ns test sub-zone to roll it's zsk when the zone is signed.
ADDING NEW RECORD MODIFICATIONS
Maketestzone is in early development stages but already has the beginnings of an extnesible system
allowing you to modify records at will based on regexp => subroutine hooks.
To add a new modification, add a new keyword to the 'p' and optionally 'P' default flags (or add it at
run time), and then add a new function to the list of callbacks defined in the %destroyFunctions hash
that is based on your new keyword. When the file is getting parsed and hits a record matching your
expression, your functional will be called. Arguments can be added to the function by passing an array
reference where the first argument is the subroutine to be called, and the remainder are additional
arguments. Output lines should be printed to the $fh file handle.
Here's an example function that deletes the RRSIG signature of the next record:
sub delete_signature {
# the first 2 arguments are always passed; the other was in the
# array refeence the subroutine was registered with.
my ($name, $type, $expr) = @_;
Verbose(" deleting signatures of $_[0]");
# print the current line
print $fh $_;
my $inrec = 0;
while (<I>) {
# new name record means we're done.
last if /^\w/;
# we're in a multi-line rrsig record
$inrec = 1 if (/$expr\s+$type/);
# print the line if we're not in the rrsig record
print $fh $_ if (!$inrec);
# when done with the last line of the rrsig record, mark this spot
$inrec = 0 if (/\)/);
}
}
This is then registered within %destroyFunctions. Here's an example of registering the function to
delete the signature on a DS record:
'^(nosig[-\w]+).*IN\s+NS\s+' => [\&delete_signature, 'DS', 'RRSIG'],
