It's running constantly like any security service product, add a domain which creates a current source of truth(baseline), add alerts based on your risk level for records you want to monitor, the system continously checkes the records against the baseline for any changes and alerts in real time if they change.
Scenario: A working website stops resolving - Based on a baseline created the alert will trigger for changes that were made and the alert sent to right person, instead of checking if it's a network issue or something else as the misconfiguration will cascade via TTL timing until you figure it out. Saved you time and effort, since we all know "It's always DNS" :)
Built it for me first :) to track my domain portfolio and projects. Then I saw there was no middle ground for a DNS Posture Management solution, either sign up with large long term contracts via Akamai/CheckRed, so I thought why not build it as a self managed service for everyone else? Mostly built it for dev who are already busy to take time out to fix DNS issues.
Most misconfiguration caught is fat finger IP input for A/AAAA records.
DNS Security seems to be lacking, no one is taking it seriously, just plug and forget, but this is the vector most of the attacks are taking place. DNS Assistant will monitor all your DNS and WHOIS records and will alert you in realtime when records change so you can take action faster.
@JGdalevich We're focused on monitoring currently, haven't thought about DNS transfer to own service, that would be interesting angle to build the infra.
The reason these services and experts exists is because those of us who want to use them have no time to learn a new skill and implement what is necessary. AI is not going to change that, perhaps 10% of us will use AI to implement AI for that purpose, rest 90% will still not have the time to do so, or will just not care to do so.
