Hi List,
i am digging a mail server and a router on my domain; i get the
following results:
1- the dig domain.com MX gives me:
;; QUESTION SECTION:
;domain.com IN MX
;; ANSWER SECTION:
domain.com. 20778 IN MX 10
mail.domain.com.
;; ADDITIONAL SECTION:
mail.domain.com. 20778 IN A
y.y.y.230
2- the dig -x y.y.y.231 (the router) gives me:
;; QUESTION SECTION:
;231.y.y.y.in-addr.arpa. IN PTR
;; ANSWER SECTION:
231.y.y.y.in-addr.arpa. 21495 IN PTR mail.domain.com.
obviously, the output from step number 2 is wrong
my question is: where could this error possibly lead to? what are the
vulnerabilities / security issues that might arise from this?
thanks in advance,
-A/S
