Identity Findings
Weak DKIM RSA key (~1296 bits) for selector 's2'
RSA keys shorter than 2048 bits are considered weak. Current key is approximately 1296 bits.
💡 Generate a new 2048-bit (or larger) RSA key pair and update the DKIM record.
No STARTTLS support on mx2.hc2186-24.iphmx.com:25
The mail server does not advertise STARTTLS, meaning email is transmitted in plaintext.
💡 Enable STARTTLS on the mail server.
No STARTTLS support on mx1.hc2186-24.iphmx.com:25
The mail server does not advertise STARTTLS, meaning email is transmitted in plaintext.
💡 Enable STARTTLS on the mail server.
No STARTTLS support on mx2.hc2186-24.iphmx.com
The mail server does not support STARTTLS. All email is transmitted in plaintext.
💡 Enable STARTTLS on the mail server.
No STARTTLS support on mx1.hc2186-24.iphmx.com
The mail server does not support STARTTLS. All email is transmitted in plaintext.
💡 Enable STARTTLS on the mail server.
Nameserver unresponsive:

Nameserver unresponsive:
The nameserver is not responding on port 53.
💡 Verify that is properly configured and accessible.
NS delegation mismatch
The registrar-delegated nameservers do not match the zone NS records.
💡 Update either the registrar NS delegation or the zone NS records to match.
No MTA-STS record found
Without MTA-STS, mail transport encryption cannot be enforced and is vulnerable to downgrade attacks.
💡 Publish a _mta-sts TXT record and host a policy file at https://mta-sts.ebayinc.com/.well-known/mta-sts.txt
STARTTLS without MTA-STS or DANE protection
STARTTLS alone is vulnerable to downgrade attacks. Neither MTA-STS nor DANE is configured to enforce encryption.
💡 Deploy MTA-STS and/or DANE to protect against STARTTLS stripping attacks.
Generic ISP PTR hostname: esa.hc2186-24.iphmx.com
The PTR record for 216.71.152.175 appears to be a generic ISP hostname, which can harm deliverability.
💡 Set a meaningful PTR record like mail.ebayinc.com
Generic ISP PTR hostname: esa.hc2186-24.iphmx.com
The PTR record for 216.71.155.88 appears to be a generic ISP hostname, which can harm deliverability.
💡 Set a meaningful PTR record like mail.ebayinc.com
Generic ISP PTR hostname: esa.hc2186-24.iphmx.com
The PTR record for 216.71.152.175 appears to be a generic ISP hostname, which can harm deliverability.
💡 Set a meaningful PTR record like mail.ebayinc.com
Generic ISP PTR hostname: esa.hc2186-24.iphmx.com
The PTR record for 216.71.155.88 appears to be a generic ISP hostname, which can harm deliverability.
💡 Set a meaningful PTR record like mail.ebayinc.com
Insufficient nameserver redundancy
Fewer than two nameservers with resolvable IP addresses were found.
💡 Configure at least two nameservers on different network subnets for redundancy.
No TLS-RPT record found
Without TLS-RPT, you will not receive reports about TLS negotiation failures.
💡 Publish a _smtp._tls TXT record (e.g. "v=TLSRPTv1; rua=mailto:tls-reports@ebayinc.com").
ARC support not detected
No evidence of ARC (Authenticated Received Chain) support on MX servers. Forwarded messages may lose authentication.
💡 Consider enabling ARC signing on your mail servers to preserve authentication through forwarding.
Shared IP 216.71.152.175 used by multiple MX servers
The IP 216.71.152.175 is shared across 2 MX hostnames, reducing redundancy.
💡 Use unique IP addresses for each MX server for better redundancy.
Shared IP 216.71.155.88 used by multiple MX servers
The IP 216.71.155.88 is shared across 2 MX hostnames, reducing redundancy.
💡 Use unique IP addresses for each MX server for better redundancy.
SPF record is valid
The SPF record is properly configured with valid syntax and within lookup limits.
SPF record length OK (56 bytes)
SPF record is within safe DNS packet size limits.
DKIM cryptographic configuration is compliant
No RFC 8301 compliance issues detected in DKIM key configuration.
DKIM key strength indicates modern key management
All DKIM keys use RSA-2048+ or Ed25519, consistent with current best practices.
All external report destinations authorized
External DMARC report destinations have valid authorization records per RFC 7489 §7.1.
Subdomains protected (sp=reject)
DMARC subdomain policy enforces quarantine or reject on unauthenticated subdomain mail.
Meets bulk sender authentication requirements
Domain has SPF, DKIM, and DMARC — meeting Google/Yahoo 2024 bulk sender requirements for email authentication.
SMTP security checks passed
No open relay, VRFY/EXPN, or banner disclosure issues detected.
SMTP RFC 5321 compliance checks passed
The mail server accepts postmaster@ and abuse@ and uses a valid FQDN in EHLO.
DNS responses are consistent across all nameservers
All authoritative nameservers return consistent answers with proper AA flags.
DNS TTL values follow best practices
All critical DNS record TTLs are within recommended ranges.
DKIM2 not detected
No DKIM key record with v=2 was found across common selectors. DKIM2 is an emerging standard and not yet widely deployed.
DMARC alignment: adkim=r, aspf=r
DKIM alignment is relaxed, SPF alignment is relaxed.
DMARC failure reporting: fo=1
Failure reports generated when any authentication mechanism fails.
DMARCbis np tag absent
The DMARC record does not include the np (non-existent subdomain policy) tag. Consider adding np=reject to protect non-existent subdomains under DMARCbis.
Deprecated DMARCbis tags found: pct, rf
The DMARC record contains tags deprecated in DMARCbis: pct, rf. Consider removing these for forward compatibility.
DMARCbis psd tag absent
The DMARC record does not include the psd (public suffix domain) indicator. Consider adding psd=n to explicitly identify this as an organizational domain.
REQUIRETLS not advertised
The primary MX does not advertise REQUIRETLS (RFC 8689). This is an emerging standard — MTA-STS and DANE provide adequate TLS enforcement for most deployments.
No DANE/TLSA records found
DANE is not configured for any MX server. This is optional but provides strong certificate binding.
No BIMI record found
BIMI is not configured. Your brand logo will not display in supporting email clients.
Open mail ports on mx2.hc2186-24.iphmx.com
Detected open mail-related ports: 25
Domain is IPv4-only
No AAAA records found for the domain, MX servers, or nameservers. The domain operates on IPv4 only.
RFC 8058 one-click unsubscribe assessment
DKIM signing is configured. RFC 8058 compliance depends on List-Unsubscribe and List-Unsubscribe-Post headers being included in outbound messages and DKIM signatures.
MX IP network diversity
All MX IPs are in the same /16 network. Consider diversifying across networks for resilience.
SOA record parameters
Serial: 2013092961, Refresh: 3600s, Retry: 1800s, Expire: 1209600s, Min TTL: 1800s
Authorized certificate authorities
CAA records restrict certificate issuance to: symantec.com, comodoca.com, pki.goog, letsencrypt.org
Attack Surface Findings
Domain enumerability: high
The domain is highly enumerable. Zone transfers, NSEC zone walking, or a combination of factors make it easy to discover all DNS records.
💡 Restrict zone transfers, use NSEC3 instead of NSEC, consider wildcard certificates to reduce CT log exposure, and implement rate limiting on DNS queries.
DNSSEC is not enabled
No DNSKEY or DS records were found. DNS responses are not cryptographically authenticated.
💡 Enable DNSSEC by generating DNSKEY records and publishing DS records at the registrar.
All MX records resolve correctly
No dangling MX records detected — all MX hostnames resolve to valid IP addresses.
Explicit MX records present
The domain has explicit MX records — no implicit A-record fallback delivery.
No internal information leakage detected
No non-routable IP addresses or internal references were found in public DNS records.
No excessive DNS information exposure detected
No HINFO, LOC, RP records, version disclosures, or zone walking vulnerabilities were found.
No email autodiscovery endpoints detected
No Microsoft Autodiscover, Mozilla Autoconfig, or email SRV records were found.
26 subdomain(s) discovered for ebayinc.com
Subdomains were enumerated via Certificate Transparency logs, DNS wordlist brute-forcing, and DNS record analysis.
587 certificate(s) found in CT logs
Certificate Transparency logs contain 587 certificate(s) for ebayinc.com and its subdomains. Each certificate reveals subdomain names.
