More Odd DNS Records: NIMLOC, (Tue, Jul 7th)
Info
Summary
This article discusses the continued use of NIMLOC DNS records, an obsolete record type originally designed for the Nimrod routing architecture. Despite the demise of NetBIOS and the shift to modern DNS and SMB protocols on Windows networks, macOS systems continue to broadcast these records. The article clarifies that while the underlying Nimrod routing scheme is defunct, the records themselves persist, and Zeek identifies them as NIMLOC.
