Personally, my "DNS Monitoring System" is a bunch of croned shell scripts and nagios, in desperate need of an overhaul. While working on a nice (maybe soon published) script to do this, I was wondering: What is everybody else using?

The script is supposed to detect DNS outages and unauthorized changes to my domains. Here are some of the parameters I am monitoring now:

- changes to the zone's serial number
- changes to the NS records (using the TLD's name servers, not mine)
- changes to MX records
- monitoring a couple critical A and AAAA records (like 'www').

In addition, for zones with DNSSEC enabled:

- does the signature expire soon?
- do all key signing keys have valid DS records with the parent zone?
- did the DS record change?

What else are you monitoring?  What scripts / tools do you use to accomplish this?

Enter comment here... a fake TeamViewer page, and that page led to a different type of malware. This week's infection involved a downloaded JavaScript (.js) file that led to Microsoft Installer packages (.msi files) containing other script that used free or open source programs.
distribute malware. Even if the URL listed on the ad shows a legitimate website, subsequent ad traffic can easily lead to a fake page. Different types of malware are distributed in this manner. I've seen IcedID (Bokbot), Gozi/ISFB, and various information stealers distributed through fake software websites that were provided through Google ad traffic. I submitted malicious files from this example to VirusTotal and found a low rate of detection, with some files not showing as malware at all. Additionally, domains associated with this infection frequently change. That might make it hard to detect.
