To scan a network for DNS servers, you can use a network scanning tool such as Nmap or Fing. Here are the steps to scan for DNS servers using Nmap:
Install Nmap on your computer if you haven't already. You can download Nmap from the official website.
Open a command prompt or terminal window.
Enter the following command: nmap -sU -p 53 --open [IP range]
Replace [IP range] with the range of IP addresses you want to scan. For example, if you want to scan all IP addresses on the 192.168.0.x subnet, you would enter nmap -sU -p 53 --open 192.168.0.0/24.
Press Enter to run the command.
Nmap will scan the specified IP range for open ports on UDP port 53, which is the port used by DNS servers.
Once the scan is complete, Nmap will display a list of IP addresses that have an open DNS port.
Alternatively, you can use Fing, which is a mobile app that can scan a network for connected devices and display information about them, including their DNS servers. To scan for DNS servers using Fing, follow these steps:
Install Fing on your mobile device from the app store.
Open the app and tap on the "Devices" tab.
Tap on the "Scan" button to scan the network for connected devices.
Once the scan is complete, Fing will display a list of devices on the network.
Tap on a device to view more information about it, including its IP address and DNS server.

DNS poisoning involves corrupting the DNS cache with false information, redirecting users to malicious websites. DNS hijacking involves redirecting DNS queries to a different server, allowing attackers to control traffic. Both can compromise network security by leading users to fake websites or intercepting sensitive data.

File servers do those things. There are specialized servers as well, for example web servers, database servers, remote access servers, fax servers--the list goes on and on. But file servers are the backbone of providing access and managing files and who has access to what resources at which times.BTW. Access to the network is usually referred to as Authentication. And Rights or Security Management is usually what controls access to files, printers, and other resources.

A forwarder is a Domain Name System (DNS) server on a network used to forward DNS queries for external DNS names to DNS servers outside of that network. You can also forward queries according to specific domain names using conditional forwarders.A DNS server on a network is designated as a forwarder by having the other DNS servers in the network forward the queries they cannot resolve locally to that DNS server. By using a forwarder, you can manage name resolution for names outside of your network, such as names on the Internet, and improve the efficiency of name resolution for the computers in your network.

Select System Preferences... from the Apple menu. Click Network from the Internet & Network row. Click Configure... button at the bottom of the screen. Your DNS servers will be listed there.
DNS records are stored in DNS servers, which are part of a distributed network that manages domain name resolution. These servers can be authoritative, containing the definitive records for a domain, or caching, temporarily storing records retrieved from authoritative servers. When a user queries a domain, the DNS resolver checks its cache first and, if not found, queries the appropriate authoritative DNS server to fetch the records.
A DNS address is the address to a server that converts a URL to an IP address. Most DNS address' are provided by your ISP, although there are many free DNS servers available.
To find your primary and secondary DNS on a Mac, go to "System Preferences" and select "Network." Choose the active network connection (e.g., Wi-Fi or Ethernet) and click "Advanced." In the "DNS" tab, you'll see a list of DNS servers; the primary DNS is typically listed first, followed by the secondary DNS.
