Identity Findings
No DKIM records found
No DKIM records were found for any common selector. Email may not be authenticated.
💡 Configure DKIM signing and publish the public key at <selector>._domainkey.imdb.com
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.imdb.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.
No CAA records found
No CAA records are configured. Any certificate authority can issue certificates for this domain.
💡 Add CAA records to restrict certificate issuance. Example: 0 issue "letsencrypt.org"
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@imdb.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.
SPF record is valid
The SPF record is properly configured with valid syntax and within lookup limits.
DKIM cryptographic configuration is compliant
No RFC 8301 compliance issues detected in DKIM key configuration.
MX records are valid
All MX records are properly configured.
BIMI record is valid
BIMI is properly configured with a valid logo and DMARC enforcement.
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.
IPv6 readiness is good
IPv6 records are present and properly configured.
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.
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
The DMARC record contains tags deprecated in DMARCbis: pct. 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.
No DANE/TLSA records found
DANE is not configured for any MX server. This is optional but provides strong certificate binding.
Open mail ports on amazon-smtp.amazon.com
Detected open mail-related ports: 25
RFC 8058 one-click unsubscribe assessment
No DKIM signing detected. RFC 8058 one-click unsubscribe requires DKIM-signed List-Unsubscribe headers.
MX IP network diversity
All MX IPs are in the same /16 network. Consider diversifying across networks for resilience.
SOA record parameters
Serial: 200910366, Refresh: 600s, Retry: 300s, Expire: 604800s, Min TTL: 900s
Attack Surface Findings
Domain enumerability: medium
The domain has moderate enumerability. CT logs and DNS records reveal significant information about the domain structure.
💡 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.
RP record exposes responsible person
An RP (Responsible Person) record for imdb.com reveals contact information: hostmaster.imdb.com.. This can be used for social engineering.
💡 Remove the RP record if the contact information is not intended to be public.
No internal information leakage detected
No non-routable IP addresses or internal references were found in public DNS records.
No email autodiscovery endpoints detected
No Microsoft Autodiscover, Mozilla Autoconfig, or email SRV records were found.
3 subdomain(s) discovered for imdb.com
Subdomains were enumerated via Certificate Transparency logs, DNS wordlist brute-forcing, and DNS record analysis.
0 certificate(s) found in CT logs
Certificate Transparency logs contain 0 certificate(s) for imdb.com and its subdomains. Each certificate reveals subdomain names.
Reputation Findings

DMARC Authentication Chain (DKIM)
DMARC uses DKIM to verify that emails have not been tampered with
DKIM Signature
DKIM signature missing

DMARC Policy
DMARC policy: quarantine
⚠️ DKIM signature is missing. DMARC relies on DKIM to verify email integrity and prevent tampering. Without DKIM, DMARC alignment will fail for cryptographic verification.

MTA-STS Policy
MTA-STS not configured
⚠️ MTA-STS policy is missing. Even with TLS support, you lack the enforcement layer that prevents attackers from stripping encryption (downgrade attacks).
