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

  • i
    2 nameservers
    Two nameservers meet the minimum; RFC 2182 recommends three or more for important zones: ns1.mk.de, ns2.mk.de.
    #6
  • ✓ 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.
  • i
    One address family in one network
    all IPv6 addresses are in 2001:1640::/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 (AS25394 (MK-NETZDIENSTE-AS - MK Netzdienste Verwaltungs GmbH trading as MK Netzdienste GmbH & Co. KG, DE): 4 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
  • ✓ All reachable over IPv6 #13
    Every nameserver has an IPv6 address.

  • ✓ All authoritative #15
    Every responding nameserver answers authoritatively for the zone.
  • ✓ No recursion #16
    The nameservers do not answer recursive queries for other domains.
  • !
    Software version disclosed
    These nameservers report their software version via version.bind/version.server, which helps attackers find known vulnerabilities: ns1.mk.de: "PowerDNS Authoritative Server 4.9.17 (built Aug 5 2026 13:27:56 by root@localhost)"; ns2.mk.de: "PowerDNS Authoritative Server 4.9.17 (built Aug 5 2026 13:27:56 by root@localhost)". 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.

Checks

  • ✓ TTLs within range #32
    TTLs: A 5m, MX 5m, NS 5m. The NS TTL at the parent is 1d and in the zone 5m; resolvers may use either.
  • ✓ No CNAME at the apex #33
    The zone apex has no CNAME record.

    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.
