Activity 2: Analyzing a Malicious Domain Using a Passive Domain Name System (DNS) and Online Scanning Virus Tool
In this task will you analyze a malicious domain using a passive DNS. A passive DNS is a tool that enables a cyber forensic examiner to collect information about a malicious domain using public DNS data. For this task you will use an online passive DNS called Robtex (https://www.robtex.com/) to collect public DNS data on a malicious domain, knigazdorovya.com (this is phishing domain).
To collect more threat intelligence, use virustotal.com too. The whole idea behind this activity to gain some insight into cyberspace threat landscape – this is insight is useful in making critical decision in event of data breach.

- Start your Ubuntu VM
- Login into Ubuntu to access the desktop
- Launch the VM’s web browser, which is Firefox (this is installed by default)
- Enter https://www.robtex.com/ in the web browser’s address bar to launch Robtex passive DNS
- Type the malicious domain within Robtex’s search box and click go
- Robtex will return results corresponding to the cancerlove.org domain and other similar domains.
- The output from the passive DNS is detailed take some time to study it and then answer the following questions.

- Which IP addresses does the domain use?
- Where is the knigazdorovya.com domain located or host?
