SecurityTrails is a privately held American company with its headquarters in Los Angeles, California[1] that specialized on gathering and providing other companies with domain name, IP address and WHOIS related data. Part of the data is provided for free on a web based platform for research and investigations, which operates under the companies name SecurityTrails. Beside the free platform they are providing the domain, IP and WHOIS data via a paid API.

Founded in 2017 by Christopher Ueland, formerly the CEO for MaxCDN[2] with the stated mission of providing the biggest treasure-trove of cyber intelligence data.[3]

Historical data[edit]

SecurityTrails holds historical DNS and WHOIS data from before the company was founded, some domains WHOIS data dating back to 2012[4] and DNS history data even further back to 2008[5].

List of all top-level-domains[edit]

The company also acquired a platform called "wwws.io" that was later rebranded to "domainlists.io"[6] and sells zonefiles of all major Top-Level-Domains, even though some of them do not publicly release their zonefiles. Zone files for russian TLDs were added after a leak in the registrars nameserver configuration.[7]

Real-time domain relations[edit]

The web based platform offers ways to search WHOIS information across any domain that has been publicly registered on the internet, meaning that anyone could find any domain a single person or company registered[8]. This raises privacy concerns regarding registrars offering WHOIS data on public APIs.
