Week 7, The Domain Name System, Part III

In this video, we try to wrap up our discussion of the Domain Name System by addressing the nature of the root nameservers, looking at various different resource record types, observing reverse lookups, and thinking about how we can have assurance of authenticity and integrity of the results returned to us via .

I wrote about #OctoDNS recently (jpmens.net/2025/02/22/notes-to). At the tail end of that post I linked to DNScontrol which I shied away from because "JavaScript".

Later I read a piece by @tobru on how he uses it, slept on that a couple of nights, and that may be a solution to a problem. Here's a screenshot showing what it's capable of. Details might be upcoming in a blog post.

Here creating a zone and keys and #DNSSEC on #PowerDNS as well as #BIND zone master files.

I don't usually post about work-related stuff, but here's something...

The state of DNSSEC on the wider Internet is sad, to say the least. Most large services don't sign their domains and most OSes can't do validation —
"systemd-resolved" can, but not by default.

It looks better regarding encryption at the OS level but, again, not by default.

Combining these two, not even 0.5% of queries are fully protected from tampering.

Does anyone has a contact to the Joint Research Centre (#JRC) [0] or My Email Communications Security Assessment (#MECSA) [1] (both from the #EU)?

I find the tool great... if it would parse #SPF/#IPv6 correctly und actually check for #DNSSEC...

I've tried emailing them, but no response :/
