Explanation of CAA record
A CAA record, also known as a DNS CAA record, CAA DNS record, CAA record, CAA certificate, or DNS CAA, is a kind of Domain Name System public policy. It allows you, the domain owner, to let everyone know which certificate authorities are authorized to issue SSL/TLS certificates for your domain. Public certificate authorities can check this record to see if they qualify to issue a certificate for your domain. Check out additional explanations of DNS CAA records.
How does DNS spoofing attack function?
In a DNS spoofing attack known as DNS cache poisoning, phony data is stored in a DNS resolver cache by the attacker. The bogus data is subsequently received by all clients using this DNS cache, who use it to link to an attacker-controlled resource rather than the trusted one. A sort of man-in-the-middle attack known as DNS cache poisoning allows attackers to intercept sensitive data by simultaneously connecting to the legitimate server in the background and sending the victim to a phony website. The same method can also be used to propagate malware and conduct exceptionally successful phishing attacks, often known as pharming. Find more information about DNS spoofing.
