Question 750
In an AWS networking assessment, a security investigation needs to identify which internal compute workloads queried a suspicious domain. Which technical explanation BEST accounts for the observed condition?
Explanation
Correct Answer
DNS query logs expose requested names and query context rather than application-layer HTTP payloads. This explains the observed network behavior, which can be checked by verifying that the investigation sees originating DNS query records with timestamps and the requested domain.
Incorrect Answers
Inbound endpoints bring permitted DNS queries into the VPC resolver, unlike outbound endpoints sending them out. The reported evidence instead concerns Route 53 Resolver query logging records DNS queries made through VPC Resolver where configured: DNS query logs expose requested names and query context rather than application-layer HTTP payloads.
Authoritative signing and recursive validation occur at different ends of the DNS trust workflow. The decisive technical distinction is Route 53 Resolver query logging records DNS queries made through VPC Resolver where configured; DNS query logs expose requested names and query context rather than application-layer HTTP payloads.
Inbound endpoint existence does not grant resolution of private zones absent from its resolver view. That property alone cannot account for the reported symptom; DNS query logs expose requested names and query context rather than application-layer HTTP payloads.
