Ever been wondering if your ISP is hijacking your DNS traffic? Ever
|
|
observed any misbehavior with your DNS responses? Ever been redirected
|
|
to wrong address and suspected something is wrong with your DNS?
|
|
Here we have a set of tools to perform basic audits on your DNS
|
|
requests and responses to make sure your DNS is working as you
|
|
expect.
|
|
|
|
You can measure the response time of any given DNS server for
|
|
arbitrary requests using dnsping. Just like traditional ping utility,
|
|
it gives you similar functionality for DNS requests.
|
|
|
|
You can also trace the path your DNS request takes to destination
|
|
to make sure it is not being redirected or hijacked. This can be
|
|
done by comparing different DNS queries being sent to the same DNS
|
|
server using dnstraceroute and observe if there is any difference
|
|
between the path.
|
|
|
|
dnseval evaluates multiple DNS resolvers and helps you choose the
|
|
best DNS server for your network. While it is highly recommended
|
|
to use your own DNS resolver and never trust any third-party DNS
|
|
server, but in case you need to choose the best DNS forwarder for
|
|
your network, dnseval lets you compare different DNS servers from
|
|
performance (latency) and reliability (loss) point of view.
