Frequently Asked Questions

The DNS history depth depends on our data collection frequency. We maintain DNS snapshots over time, with history typically available for several months. Frequently queried domains may have more extensive historical data.

We track A (IPv4), AAAA (IPv6), MX (mail exchange), NS (nameserver), CNAME (canonical name), TXT (text), and SOA (start of authority) records. Additional record types may be available depending on the domain configuration.

Yes, DNS history is an essential tool for detecting domain hijacking. By comparing current DNS records against historical snapshots, you can identify unauthorized changes to nameservers, MX records, or IP addresses that may indicate a compromise.

Tips & Best Practices

•Analyze DNS history to understand domain infrastructure changes
•Use DNS history for incident investigation and forensics
