 Reverse DNS queries are used to find the domain name associated with an IP address. To perform reverse DNS queries, DNS servers use a special type of record called PTR (pointer) record. A PTR record maps an IP address to a hostname in the reverse lookup zone. For example, a PTR record for the IP address 185.230.63.186 would point to the hostname unalocated.63.wixsite.com. Reverse DNS queries are useful for validating email servers, troubleshooting network problems, and identifying malicious hosts. References:

 DHCPv6 supports three types of IPv6 address assignments:

• Individual address assignment (IA_NA): This is the stateful mode of DHCPv6, where the DHCPv6 server assigns a normal IPv6 address to a client that can be renewed or released. The address is chosen from a pool of prefixes configured on the server and is unique and non-duplicate. The client can request one or more addresses using the IA_NA option in the DHCPv6 messages1
• Temporary address assignment (IA_TA): This is similar to the IA_NA mode, but the addresses assigned are temporary and cannot be renewed or released. The temporary addresses are used for privacy reasons and are generated by the client using a random interface identifier. The client can request one or more temporary addresses using the IA_TA option in the DHCPv6 messages2
• Prefix delegation (IA_PD): This is the mode where the DHCPv6 server delegates a whole IPv6 prefix to a client, such as a router or a host, that can use it for further subnetting or routing. The client can request one or more prefixes using the IA_PD option in the DHCPv6 messages. The delegated prefixes are also chosen from a pool of prefixes configured on the server3

 OpenVAS is a network security scanner project that, at the core, is a server with a set of network vulnerability tests (NVTs) to detect security problems in remote systems and applications. It is an open-source tool that was forked from Nessus, a popular commercial scanner. OpenVAS can perform comprehensive scans of networks and hosts, as well as web application scanning and compliance testing. It also provides a graphical user interface (GUI) and a command-line interface (CLI) for managing scans and reports. References:
