If no DNS secururity (DNSSEC, DoH, DoT, etc) is implemented, this may provide an entry point for an attacker. diff --git a/src/web-check-live/utils/docs.ts b/src/web-check-live/utils/docs.ts index 20355a9..6596189 100644 --- a/src/web-check-live/utils/docs.ts +++ b/src/web-check-live/utils/docs.ts @@ -25,7 +25,7 @@ const docs: Doc[] = [ id: "ssl", title: "SSL Chain", description: - "SSL certificates are digital certificates that authenticate the identity of a website or server, enable secure encrypted communication (HTTPS), and establish trust between clients and servers.
