[Terraform Module Registry](https://registry.terraform.io/modules/nozaq/parked-domain-baseline/aws)

A terraform module to set up DNS records to harden the parked(unused) domain using AWS Route53.

Domains should be protected for email spoofing even if they are not intended to be actively used.
This module configures DNS records to protect such domain based on [M3AAWG Protecting Parked Domains Best Common Practices].

## Features

This module creates the following DNS records.

- Null MX record([RFC 7505]) to indicate the domain does not accept any email.
- SPF record to indicate no IP is authorized to send email on behalf of this domain.
- DMARC record to enforce receiving domains to reject any email forging this domain.
- Optionally adds `rua` tag in the DMARC record to receive aggregate feedback reports via email.
- Optionally creates Null MX and DMARC records for wildcard subdomains as well as the root domain(enabled by default).

## Usage

```hcl
provider "aws" {
}

data "aws_route53_zone" "this" {
name = "example.com"
}

module "parked_domain" {
source = "nozaq/parked-domain-baseline/aws"

zone_id = data.aws_route53_zone.this.zone_id
ttl = 86400 # One day
}
```
