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.

    NS sets differ
    The nameservers at the parent and in the zone should be the same. Only in the zone: dns5.belwue.de. dns.zkm.de, dns1.belwue.de, dns3.belwue.de, dns5.belwue.de report NS dns.zkm.de dns1.belwue.de dns3.belwue.de dns5.belwue.de.
    #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.
  • i
    One address family in one network
    all IPv6 addresses are in 2001:7c0::/48, while the other address family is spread over several networks.
    #10
  • i
    All nameservers in one AS
    All nameserver addresses are announced by one network operator (AS553 (BELWUE - Universitaet Stuttgart, DE): 7 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 .de
    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
  • i
    Partly IPv6
    These nameservers have no IPv6 address: dns.zkm.de.

    Software version disclosed
    These nameservers report their software version via version.bind/version.server, which helps attackers find known vulnerabilities: dns.zkm.de: "9.7.3"; dns1.belwue.de: "PowerDNS Authoritative Server 4.5.5 (built Dec 8 2022 18:24:18 by root@a309361b6303)"; dns3.belwue.de: "PowerDNS Authoritative Server 4.5.5 (built Dec 8 2022 18:24:18 by root@a309361b6303)"; dns5.belwue.de: "PowerDNS Authoritative Server 4.5.5 (built Dec 8 2022 18:24:18 by root@a309361b6303)".
