What it does

A searchable table of 18 common DNS record types with a one-line explanation of each, including the TXT-based SPF and DMARC policies used to check email senders.

It runs entirely in your browser: nothing you enter is uploaded.

Example

Records used for email checks

Input
TXT
Output (captured 2026-10-20)
TYPE	DESCRIPTION
TXT	Text records (SPF, DKIM, verification)
SPF	Sender Policy Framework (deprecated, use TXT)
DMARC	via TXT — email authentication policy

Filters the table to TXT, SPF and DMARC: SPF and DMARC policies are published as TXT records, which is where email authentication checks look.

FAQ

Which record types matter when checking a phishing domain?

A and AAAA show where the site is hosted, NS shows the DNS provider, MX shows who receives its mail, and TXT holds SPF and DMARC policies. A CNAME can reveal the hosting platform behind a subdomain.

Is the table complete?

No, it lists 18 common entries; types such as HTTPS, SVCB and CERT are missing. The separate SPF record type is obsolete (publish SPF in TXT), and DMARC is not a record type at all but a TXT record at _dmarc.example.com.

Does this page query DNS?

No, it is a static reference and nothing leaves your browser. To see a domain's live records, use DNS over HTTPS Lookup.
