- Catalog verification bypass (minisign signature not enforced, downgrade to unsigned)
- TLS validation weakness in the DoT or DoH clients
- Anything causing the tool to send more traffic to third parties than documented
- Path traversal or arbitrary write via config, catalog or dataset parsing
- A provider in the catalog being untrustworthy. Tags are declared by providers; see
docs/DATA.md. - Latency results you disagree with. Open an issue with
--jsonoutput attached.
By design, only:
- DNS queries to the resolvers under test.
- TCP connects to CDN hosts for the edge probe (connect only — no TLS, no HTTP request).
- One public-IP lookup over DNS, unless
--no-geo. - Catalog fetches during an explicit
dnsbench update.
No telemetry, no analytics, no crash reporting. Ever.
Note for users: measuring a resolver necessarily reveals your IP to that resolver. That is inherent to the measurement, not a flaw.
