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.

Checks

  • ✓ 3 nameservers #6
    Delegated to a.ns.keyweb.org, b.ns.keyweb.org, c.ns.keyweb.de.
  • ✓ Parent and zone agree #7
    The parent delegation and the zone's NS records list the same nameservers.
  • ✓ 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 3 IPv4 /24s and 0 IPv6 /48s.
  • i
    All nameservers in one AS
    All nameserver addresses are announced by one network operator (AS31103 (KEYWEB-AS - Keyweb AG, 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
  • ✓ Nameserver names under 2 TLDs #12
    Nameserver names use the TLDs .de, .org.
  • !
    No IPv6
    None of the nameservers has an IPv6 address, so IPv6-only resolvers can't reach them.

    Software version disclosed
    These nameservers report their software version via version.bind/version.server, which helps attackers find known vulnerabilities: a.ns.keyweb.org: "PowerDNS Authoritative Server 4.3.2 (built Mar 11 2021 09:49:57 by root@e237f79fead5)"; b.ns.keyweb.org: "PowerDNS Authoritative Server 4.3.2 (built Mar 11 2021 09:49:57 by root@e237f79fead5)"; c.ns.keyweb.de: "PowerDNS Authoritative Server 4.2.1". Hide or replace the version string.
    #17
  • ✓ Zone transfers refused #18
    No nameserver allows a zone transfer to the public.
  • ✓ TCP supported #19
    All nameservers answer over TCP.
  • ✓ EDNS supported #20
    All nameservers support EDNS(0).
  • ✓ Public addresses #21
    All nameserver addresses are publicly routable.

    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

  • ✓ TTLs within range #32
    TTLs: A 1h, MX 5m, 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.
  • ✓ 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.
