This research focuses on detecting botnets that use DNS TXT records for command and control (C&C) or data exfiltration, a mechanism very similar to how DNSFS operates. Access: Available via ResearchGate . RFC 6763 (DNS-based Service Discovery)

While not solely about DNSFS, this paper provides the most structured and historical analysis of unconventional DNS TXT record usage, including data storage and potential security risks like "leaked" private keys and botnet communication.
