What is DNS?
The Domain Name System (DNS) is the system responsible for translating domain names into IP addresses. When a user enters a website address, DNS servers determine the IP address where the website is hosted so the browser can connect to it.
What information can DNS records reveal?
DNS records reveal infrastructure details about a domain including web hosting servers, mail routing systems and verification records. Security researchers and network administrators often analyze DNS records to understand how a domain is configured and where its services are hosted.
Types of DNS records
- A Record – Maps a domain to an IPv4 address
- AAAA Record – Maps a domain to an IPv6 address
- MX Record – Defines mail servers for a domain
- TXT Record – Stores verification and security information
- NS Record – Identifies authoritative name servers
