What is Passive DNS Monitoring?

Understanding Passive DNS Monitoring

Passive DNS Monitoring refers to the practice of collecting and analyzing Domain Name System (DNS) data passively from network traffic without actively querying DNS servers. This monitoring technique helps cybersecurity professionals identify and investigate malicious activities, such as domain generation algorithms and command-and-control communications, by mapping relationships between domain names and IP addresses over time.
