Checks

  • i
    .de is a country-code TLD (ccTLD)
    Country-code TLD: governed by its local registry under national policy, not by an ICANN contract. Registrar accreditation, dispute resolution and RDAP/WHOIS rules are set by the registry.
    #1
  • ✓ TLD delegated and signed #2
    .de is delegated in the root zone and DNSSEC-signed.
  • i
    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.

    2 nameservers
    Two nameservers meet the minimum; RFC 2182 recommends three or more for important zones: dns1.21torr.com, dns3.21torr.com.
    #6
  • !
    NS sets differ
    The nameservers at the parent and in the zone should be the same. Only in the zone: pdns1.21torr.com. dns1.21torr.com, dns3.21torr.com report NS dns1.21torr.com dns3.21torr.com pdns1.21torr.com.
    #7
  • ✓ No glue needed #8
    All nameservers are outside the zone, so no glue records are needed.
  • ✓ All names resolve #9
    Every nameserver name has an address and is not an alias.
  • ✓ Nameservers in different networks #10
    The nameservers are spread over 2 IPv4 /24s and 0 IPv6 /48s.
  • i
    All nameservers in one AS
    All nameserver addresses are announced by one network operator (AS13233 (SCHOENE-AS - Schoene Toechter GmbH, DE): 3 addresses). An outage or attack on that network affects all nameservers; large anycast providers mitigate this, but a secondary DNS provider adds independence.
    #11
  • i
    All nameserver names under .com
    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
  • !
    No IPv6
    None of the nameservers has an IPv6 address, so IPv6-only resolvers can't reach them.
    #13

    Not signed
    The zone is not signed with DNSSEC, so answers can be spoofed. Enable DNSSEC at your DNS provider and publish the DS record at your registrar.

Checks

  • !
    Very low TTLs
    These records have a TTL below 5m, causing extra queries and slower lookups: NS (0s). Low TTLs are useful just before a planned change. The NS TTL at the parent is 1d and in the zone 0s; resolvers may use either.
    #32
  • ✓ No CNAME at the apex #33
    The zone apex has no CNAME record.
  • ✓ No wildcard #34
    Names that don't exist return NXDOMAIN.
  • i
    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.
