If you want to snoop on DNS queries, you should get permission from the owner. Period. The mental gymnastics to rationalize not needing permission, or claim that isn't the issue have been quite impressive.

Just to be clear, can you clarify which owner you're referring to? The owner of the remote site, the owner of the client device, or the owner of the DNS server(s)? Or is it any/all of the above?

Replying to @0xMatt
If you're at the point that you're litigating what "owner" means, just stop and get permission
Don't worry, you cannot have too much permission to snoop.3 replies 0 retweets 15 likes -
I think what Matt is getting at is the Enterprise use case. The Enterprise owns the computer, but the issue of privacy is not as clear-cut, including in situations where technically you have pre-authorization.

Right. I am the owner of my intent to visit http://google.com Work is the owner of the computer I use to do it, and the network I'm on Comcast is the owner of the DNS server my home router would default to if I hadn't changed it So who is the owner you're referring to?

The fact that you're complicating it so much is making me worry what you want to justify? Give me a real example.

Seems like a real example to me. Is this performance art?

Yeah, I thought I had given a real example. Also, accusing me of "wanting to justify something" is pretty unfriendly here. I'm interested in knowing how you think about this problem. I think about it from an enterprise defense framework, where ownership is a complicated thing.

It wasn't unfriendly. I said you need permission from the owner, which is very simple in the enterprise case. You effectively said "everyone is the owner", which made me worry you're trying to say getting permission is too hard and we shouldn't bother.
