Security Researcher Detected: You might have ended up here because your site vulnerability scanner found something interesting. Hi! I'm a security engineer and I'm having a good time interacting with the people and bots that are interested in information security.

You will hopefully find this site is well-secured and I'm not interested in being hacked. I'm interested in learning about how people try to hack me, though.

What is this endpoint?

dns-query

DNS over HTTPS

What an attacker could do

Identifies a DNS-over-HTTPS resolver endpoint; if it is an open resolver it can be abused for DNS amplification, cache poisoning attempts, or as a covert data-exfiltration and command-and-control channel.

How to defend it

Restrict the DoH resolver to authorized clients, disable open recursion, rate-limit queries, and log/monitor for tunneling patterns if the endpoint is not intended to be public.
