DNS Security Scan

DNS (Domain Name System) is a critical part of the internet infrastructure that translates human-readable domain names into IP addresses. Due to its importance, DNS security is essential for protecting your online presence.

Why DNS Security Matters

• Prevents DNS Spoofing: Protects against attackers redirecting your users to malicious websites
• Protects Email: Proper email security records (SPF, DKIM, DMARC) prevent email spoofing
• Ensures Availability: Proper DNS configuration ensures your services remain accessible
• Maintains Trust: Secure DNS helps maintain trust with your users and customers

Key DNS Security Measures

• DNSSEC: Adds cryptographic signatures to DNS records to prevent tampering
• SPF, DKIM, and DMARC: Email authentication protocols that prevent email spoofing
• CAA Records: Control which Certificate Authorities can issue SSL certificates for your domain
• DNS Redundancy: Multiple nameservers ensure availability even if one fails
• Zone Transfer Restrictions: Prevent unauthorized access to your DNS zone data

Common DNS Security Issues

• Missing DNSSEC: Leaves your domain vulnerable to DNS spoofing attacks
• Weak or Missing Email Security: Allows attackers to send emails that appear to be from your domain
• Single Point of Failure: Using only one nameserver can lead to availability issues
• Exposed Zone Transfers: Allows attackers to gather information about your DNS infrastructure
• Outdated DNS Software: May contain vulnerabilities that can be exploited
