Public DNS Database

The core idea of this project is the collection, aggregation, and dissemination of the data stored in the Internet's DNS hierarchy.

Dissemination

Our goal is for the data we collect to be useful in the widest variety of ways. To this end, there will be three ways to access the data in the beginning of the project.

  1. A user may access our website, and perform queries there. Users may perform query by specific IP addresses, ranges of IP addresses, and by regular expressions against the text fields with which the IP addresses are connected. No login will be required to access this service.
  2. Programs may access query our web API, enabling them to use the data in new and exciting ways.
  3. On a monthly basis, a highly-compressed torrent of the current snapshot view of the DNS hierarchy will be published. This torrent will not include historical data, to prevent it from growing too quickly. We expect the snapshot will be useful to both researchers, and those who'd prefer to keep their queries as private as possible.
