Audit DNS: Open-Source DNS Server Software

Open-source DNS server software for security and performance monitoring of DNS infrastructure, providing visibility into DNS queries and responses to identify issues or malicious activity.

What is Audit DNS?

Audit DNS is an open-source DNS server software designed specifically for security and performance monitoring of DNS infrastructure. It operates as a recursive DNS server, receiving and resolving DNS queries on behalf of clients while also logging details about every query and response.

Some of the key features of Audit DNS include:

• Full logging of all DNS queries and responses, including query details like domain name, record type, source IP, etc.
• Network traffic graphs and query statistics to identify traffic spikes or unusual activity patterns.
• Configurable alerts for suspicious or malformed DNS traffic.
• Graphical web interface for log search and analysis.
• Capabilities for sampling a subset of traffic to minimize logging overhead.
• Export logging data to external databases, SIEMs, or analytics tools.

By providing complete visibility and advanced analytics around DNS activity within a network, Audit DNS can help security and infrastructure teams identify attacks against DNS infrastructure, troubleshoot DNS-related issues faster, and optimize DNS performance. Its open-source nature also allows customization to specific monitoring needs.
