DNS Inspection tools

The DNS Operations, Analysis, and Research Center (DNS-OARC) brings together key operators, implementors, and researchers on a trusted platform so they can coordinate responses to attacks and other concerns, share information and learn together.

FQDN Uppercase – Lowercase weirdness

The DNS is not case sensitive, but it’s generally expected that servers will respect the case that was observed in the client query.
Some clients take advantage of this to add extra entropy to the query to help mitigate packet spoofing attacks.
