DNS Insight

Mass-scale DNS visibility for Telco and Government operations

 
 

DNS Insight provides high-volume DNS metadata capture and analysis, enabling organizations to record and investigate DNS traffic at national or carrier scale. From threat hunting to lawful intercept, it delivers the visibility required to protect subscribers, meet compliance obligations, and uncover hidden threats in the world’s most widely used protocol.

Why DNS Insight?

  • Carrier-grade scale – Capture and retain billions of DNS queries and responses daily without loss.

  • Threat intelligence – Detect command-and-control traffic, domain abuse, or botnet activity.

  • Lawful intercept – Provide reliable, auditable DNS metadata streams to support legal and regulatory requirements.

  • Subscriber assurance – Monitor service quality, protect against DNS misuse, and ensure network reliability.

Architecture and Performance

DNS Insight leverages FMADIO’s core packet capture pipeline: Capture → Decoder → Database.

  • All-in-One Deployment – Capture, decode, and analytics run on a single appliance. This allows rapid deployment for targeted monitoring or urgent investigative needs.

  • Centralized Deployment – Multiple appliances stream DNS metadata into a central ClickHouse repository. This creates a unified, long-term database suitable for national-level visibility, cross-site correlation, and compliance retention.

Performance scales linearly, from edge appliances handling localized queries to multi-site clusters capable of retaining billions of DNS records.

Use Cases

  • National security – Monitor DNS traffic to identify malicious infrastructure and foreign influence campaigns.

  • Telecom operations – Gain visibility into subscriber DNS usage for service assurance and abuse detection.

  • Regulatory compliance – Retain long-term DNS metadata in a searchable format that satisfies lawful intercept and audit obligations.

  • Incident response – Replay previously captured DNS data into DNS Insight to reveal threats that were not visible at the time of capture.

Key Differentiators

  • Complete visibility – Based on raw packet capture, not sampled or incomplete feeds.

  • Fast queries – Billions of rows of DNS data remain instantly searchable via ClickHouse.

  • Forensic depth – Correlate DNS metadata with full PCAP when deeper inspection is required.

Scalable, Future-Ready Visibility

DNS Insight provides the comprehensive DNS intelligence required by Telco and Government operators. It scales from rapid deployments on a single appliance to national-level systems capable of storing and analyzing months of DNS traffic.
