Show KN: Detect Web3 Frontend Attacks with dAppling DNS Monitor
AI summary of the linked articledAppling has released a monitoring tool at dappling.network/monitor that alerts users to possible DNS hijacking of Web3 domains. According to the article, the tool watches over 3,000 Web3 domains from DeFiLlama for nameserver changes, which it says is the change used in recent attacks on Frax, Balancer, Galxe, Velodrome, and Aerodrome. The article states the attacks worked by social engineering a DNS registrar, and that the tool would have detected all five. It checks each nameserver every 5 minutes using Cloudflare's DNS over HTTPS API and notifies subscribers when a change is found. |

2 comments @bookland.ethSubmitter Hey everyone! TLDR is because of the 5+ DNS hijacking attacks that have happened in the last few months, we built this monitoring tool that can instantly tell when they r happening + send notifications. Can view the tool here: https://monitor.dappling.network LMK if anyone has any questions or site requests :) Should I add kiwistand.com ?? Really love this idea but how do you know know if the name server change was malicious or not? |
