Unit 9 Homework
Mission 1
Issue: Due to the DoS attack, the Empire took down the Resistance's DNS and primary email
servers.
The Resistance's network team was able to build and deploy a new DNS server and mail
server.
The new primary mail server is asltx.l.google.com and the secondary should
be asltx.2.google.com.
The Resistance (starwars.com) is able to send emails but unable to receive any.
Your mission:
Determine and document the mail servers for starwars.com using NSLOOKUP.
I used nslookup -querytype=mx starwars.com to find the mail servers associated with that
domain.
Explain why the Resistance isn't receiving any emails.
The Resistance isn’t receiving any emails because their servers are not set to the correct
primary and secondary email servers.

Document what a corrected DNS record should be.
Primary Mail server = 1 asltx.l.google.com
Secondary Mail Server = 5 asltx.2.google.com
Mission 2
Issue: Now that you've addressed the mail servers, all emails are coming through. However,
users are still reporting that they haven't received mail from the theforce.net alert bulletins.
Many of the alert bulletins are being blocked or going into spam folders.
This is probably due to the fact that theforce.net changed the IP address of their mail server
to 45.23.176.21 while your network was down.
These alerts are critical to identify pending attacks from the Empire.
Your mission:
Determine and document the SPF for theforce.net using NSLOOKUP.
"v=spf1 a mx mx:smtp.secureserver.net include:aspmx.googlemail.com
ip4:104.156.250.80 ip4:45.63.15.159 ip4:45.63.4.215"
I used nslookup -querytype=txt theforce.net to find that answer
Explain why the Force's emails are going to spam.
The Force’s emails are going to spam because they changed the IP address of their mail
server to 45.23.176.21 and did not add that to their SPF for theforce.net to allow emails
from there.
Document what a corrected DNS record should be.
The DNS record should include the new ip address of their mail server and read as
follows:
"v=spf1 a mx mx:smtp.secureserver.net include:aspmx.googlemail.com
ip4:104.156.250.80 ip4:45.63.15.159 ip4:45.63.4.215, ip4:45.23.176.21"
