Question

What is the role of DNSSEC in footprinting and how can I query it programmatically

Answer 1

DNSSEC (Domain Name System Security Extensions) adds a layer of security to DNS, ensuring the responses come from legitimate servers and haven't been tampered with. 

In footprinting, DNSSEC can help verify the authenticity of DNS data, giving you accurate info.

To query DNSSEC using Python, you can use the dnspython library:

• This script queries DNS records specifically for DNSSEC-related info (like DNSKEY).
• It ensures that you’re getting secure, verified DNS responses.
