Tools like Wireshark, tcpdump, and specialized network monitoring solutions (e.g., SolarWinds, PRTG) can be used to analyze DNS traffic. DDoS mitigation platforms often provide their own analysis tools. These tools can help identify suspicious query patterns, source IP addresses, and response sizes, which are indicators of a DNS flood or amplification attack. Cloud-based services also provide logs and analytics dashboards.
