NAME
ldns-verify-zone - read a DNSSEC signed zone and verify it.
SYNOPSIS
ldns-verify-zone ZONEFILE
DESCRIPTION
ldns-verify-zone reads a DNS zone file and verifies it.
RRSIG resource records are checked against the DNSKEY set at the zone
apex.
Each name is checked for an NSEC(3), if appropriate.
If ZONEMD resource records are present, one of them needs to match the
zone content.
OPTIONS
-h Show usage and exit
-a Apex only, check only the zone apex
-e period
Signatures may not expire within this period. Default no period
is used.
-i period
Signatures must have been valid at least this long. Default
signatures should just be valid now.
-k file
A file that contains a trusted DNSKEY or DS rr. This option may
be given more than once.
Alternatively, if -k is not specified, and a default trust
anchor (/usr/local/etc/unbound/root.key) exists and contains a
valid DNSKEY or DS record, it will be used as the trust anchor.
-p [0-100]
Only check this percentage of the zone. Which names to check is
determined randomly. Defaults to 100.
-S Chase signature(s) to a known key. The network may be accessed
to validate the zone's DNSKEYs. (implies -k)
-t YYYYMMDDhhmmss | [+|-]offset
Set the validation time either by an absolute time value or as
an offset in seconds from the current time.
0: Be silent
1: Print result, and any errors
2: Same as 1 for now
3: Print result, any errors, and the names that are
being checked
4: Same as 3 for now
5: Print the zone after it has been read, the result,
any errors, and the names that are being checked
-Z Requires a valid ZONEMD RR to be present. When given once, this
option will permit verifying only the ZONEMD RR of an unsigned
zone. When given more than once, the zone needs to be validly
DNSSEC signed as well.
-ZZZ When three times a -Z option is given, the ZONEMD RR to be
verified is considered "detached" and does not need to have
valid signatures.
periods are given in ISO 8601 duration format:
P[n]Y[n]M[n]DT[n]H[n]M[n]S
If no file is given standard input is read.
FILES
/usr/local/etc/unbound/root.key
The file from which trusted keys are loaded for signature
chasing, when no -k option is given.
