Checks

• i

• ✓ TLD delegated and signed #2

  .de is delegated in the root zone and DNSSEC-signed.

  Registration data not available

  No registration data via RDAP: the registry of .de offers no RDAP service. Many ccTLD registries don't offer RDAP; check the registry's WHOIS instead.

  All nameserver names under .net

  All nameserver names are under one TLD, so a problem with that TLD also makes the nameservers unreachable. Some operators use names under two TLDs for extra resilience.

  #12
• ✓ All reachable over IPv6 #13

  Every nameserver has an IPv6 address.

Read from

217.160.80.160:53

Checks

• ✓ TTLs within range #32

  TTLs: A 10m, MX 12h, NS 12h. The NS TTL at the parent is 1d and in the zone 12h; resolvers may use either.
• ✓ No CNAME at the apex #33

  The zone apex has no CNAME record.
• i

  Wildcard record

  A random name under the zone resolves, so there is a wildcard (*) record. Typos and non-existent hosts resolve too, which can confuse mail and certificate checks.

  No CAA records

  Without CAA records any certificate authority may issue certificates for this domain. A CAA record limits issuance to the CAs you use.
