Description: DNS evidence refers to the data and records that support the operation and reliability of the Domain Name System (DNS). This system is fundamental for browsing the Internet, as it translates human-readable domain names, such as www.example.com, into IP addresses that computers use to communicate with each other. DNS evidence includes records such as A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, and TXT, which provide information about server locations, email configurations, and other critical aspects of the domain. These records are stored on DNS servers and are accessible to any user making a query. The integrity and authenticity of this information are essential to prevent cyber attacks, such as DNS cache poisoning, where an attacker can redirect users to malicious sites. Therefore, DNS evidence not only supports the functionality of the system but also plays a crucial role in the security of Internet infrastructure. Proper management and verification of these records are vital to maintaining trust in web browsing and digital communications in general.
