description: >-
  DNS and TLS posture probe of the historical E8 Storage Systems domain
  e8storage.com. The domain is retained but no longer serves web content: there
  is no A or AAAA record and no MX record, so the host does not resolve and
  cannot be reached over HTTPS. Authoritative nameservers are MarkMonitor and
  the DMARC aggregate/forensic reports are directed to dmarc.amazon.com, which
  is consistent with Amazon's 2019 acquisition of the company and its retention
  of the domain as a defensive registration.

findings:
  - severity: info
    finding: >-
      Domain is parked defensively, not operated. No A/AAAA/MX records and an
      SPF hard-fail plus DMARC p=reject means the domain is locked down against
      spoofing while serving no traffic.
  - severity: info
    finding: >-
      DMARC reporting addresses under dmarc.amazon.com indicate the domain is
      administered by Amazon following the 2019 acquisition.
  - severity: low
    finding: DNSSEC is not enabled on the zone.
  - severity: low
    finding: No CAA records are published.
