When it comes to incident response, every network admin knows the drill—endpoints trip alarms, firewalls block traffic, SOC dashboards light up with alerts. But the real story almost always starts earlier—in DNS. Long before malware detonates or data leaves the building, an attack whispers its intent in a query. Newly registered domains, fast-flux campaigns, suspicious TXT lookups—in all of these actions, DNS is where adversaries test the waters.

How CleanINTERNET DNS Stops DNS Tunneling Before It Starts

Jul 18, 2025 By Lauren Farrell In Centripetal
Modern cyber threats are increasingly stealthy. A favorite tactic? DNS tunneling—a method used to bypass traditional network security controls by hiding malicious traffic inside DNS queries and responses. This can be done by embedding or encoding command and control instructions or data within subdomains or DNS record fields like TXT, CNAME or other rarely used record types.
