Episode 28 — DNS Enumeration Patterns
This episode teaches you how DNS enumeration reveals structure, ownership, and potential entry points while also introducing common sources of confusion. You’ll learn how records like addresses, aliases, mail routing, and text entries hint at services and integrations, and how subdomain patterns often reflect environments and applications. We’ll cover zone transfer concepts, reverse lookups, and why stale or third-party records can mislead testers who assume everything is active and owned. You’ll practice building a prioritized service hypothesis list from DNS clues, then selecting safe validation steps to confirm reachability. By the end, you’ll be able to document DNS findings clearly, including confidence levels and assumptions, and use them to guide efficient enumeration rather than speculation.
