For example, let’s say you want to save the results in a text file called kingpin123.txt in D: drive.Type ipconfig/displaydns> any location\filename.Run the Command prompt as an administrator.Now click on the Windows icon given on the bottom left corner.Check the history and you’ll see it’s not present in the history list of the browser. Open a website using incognito mode or Kingpin browser. And it’s pretty simple to see the DNS results – you don’t have to be a bigshot hacker for this. Now if you read the DNS results, it will show the browsing history of your computer. This entire process of communication between the browser and the DNS server gets recorded on your device – even if you’ve used private browsing. So when you enter the name of a website in the browser, the browser will check the DNS server and get the IP address of the site to open it. How DNS WorksĪ DNS server, or Domain Name System server, is a device that records the IP address and their hostnames. Since these DNS queries are stored and can be accessed on a Windows device, you can find out a user’s browsing session’s details. While incognito can protect you from most prying eyes, it won’t be able to protect you if someone went snooping into your DNS queries.
