Findings

Get a DNS health finding of a company.

Changed on

The DNS Health is generated from 40+ control items which are collected from online services like IntoDNS, Robtex, Netcraft, and HackerTarget. Since DNS queries are recursive, it is almost impossible to detect a hacker’s footprints from the DNS servers. This category has 6% effect on total scan score.<br/><br/> For storage optimization, the system <b>permanently</b> deletes all findings that haven't been detected by the Black Kite scanner for over a year. Findings with manually changed statuses or associated tickets are excluded.
