Why Choose This Project

Unauthorized DNS changes can indicate domain hijacking, phishing attempts, or misconfigured infrastructure. Manual monitoring of DNS records is inefficient and often delayed, increasing the risk of service disruptions or security breaches. This project provides a real-time monitoring system that tracks DNS record changes (A, CNAME, MX, TXT, NS) for domains, alerting administrators immediately when suspicious or unauthorized modifications occur.

What You Get

A web-based portal that continuously monitors DNS records for configured domains. The system records historical DNS changes, sends alerts via email or SMS for any unauthorized or unexpected updates, and provides dashboards for trend visualization. It is ideal for enterprises, domain registrars, and IT teams looking to secure their domains against hijacking, phishing, or accidental misconfigurations.

Key Features

Technology Stack

Working Flow

1. User Login – Admin logs in securely to manage monitored domains.

2. Domain Configuration – Add domains and select DNS record types to monitor.

3. Scheduled Monitoring – Backend periodically queries DNS records via DNS lookup or API.

4. Change Detection – Compare current DNS records with stored historical records.

5. Alert Triggering – If unexpected changes are detected, alerts are sent via email or SMS.

6. Logging – Record every change, including timestamp, old value, new value, and user responsible (if applicable).

7. Dashboard Visualization – Display recent DNS changes, trends, and alert frequency.

8. Reporting – Generate reports for compliance, audits, or internal review.
