  • Latest version

    Version 1.6

    Released Apr 12, 2026 - 15.43 KB
    Works with firefox 142.0 and later, android 142.0 and later
    Improvements

    • Reworked DNS resolution logic to support both A and AAAA records
    • Added recursive resolution for CNAME chains, improving accuracy in CDN and complex DNS setups
    • Improved fallback handling when IP is not available from webRequest
    • Enhanced DoH queries using multiple resolvers (Cloudflare and Google) with response validation
    • Added deduplication of DNS responses to avoid redundant IP entries

    New Features

    • ASN validation using RIPEstat API
    • Verification of IP against announced ASN prefixes for better ownership validation
    • FCrDNS (Forward-confirmed reverse DNS) validation added as an additional trust layer
    • TLS detection to identify if the connection is encrypted (HTTPS vs HTTP)
    • Real-time badge updates with priority-based status (OK, SUSPICIOUS, CRITICAL)
    • Smart notification system with rate limiting to prevent alert spam

    Security Enhancements

    • Multi-layer validation strategy combining:
    • Direct DNS resolution
    • ASN ownership verification
    • Reverse DNS validation (FCrDNS)

    • Improved detection of:
    • DNS mismatches
    • Rogue or unexpected IP addresses
    • Invalid ASN associations

    Behavior Changes

    • Status evaluation logic refined to reduce false positives in CDN scenarios
    • Domains not directly matching DNS can now be validated via reverse lookup (FCrDNS)
    • ASN lookup failures are now handled gracefully and marked as UNKNOWN instead of breaking analysis
    • DNS queries now fallback to CNAME when A records are missing

    Fixes

    • Fixed issues where invalid JSON responses from DoH resolvers could break analysis
    • Improved error handling for network failures and external API issues
    • Fixed cases where missing IP information resulted in incorrect status
    • Prevented duplicate DNS results from affecting validation logic

    Internal Changes

    • Refactored DNS query handling for better reliability and fault tolerance
    • Added CIDR matching logic for ASN prefix validation
    • Improved tab-based state tracking for results and badge status

    Known Limitations

    • ASN validation depends on external API availability (RIPEstat)
    • Recursive DNS resolution may not cover all edge cases in deeply nested configurations
    • Some CDN scenarios may still require further tuning for perfect accuracy
