Domain Intelligence

WHOIS lookups, DNS record enumeration (A, MX, NS, TXT), IP resolution, reverse IP lookups. Flags recently registered domains and shared hosting infrastructure.

🏛

Business Registry Queries

Pull registration dates, statuses, registered agents from Secretary of State databases. Detect multiple entities formed around the same time with similar naming.

🕸

Content Crawling

Crawl home, about, contact, careers pages. Detect template reuse and duplicate content across domains. Flag unverifiable claims about clients or partnerships.

📊

Network Mapping

Interactive graph visualization showing relationships between domains, IPs, hosting providers, and business entities. Highlight suspicious clusters automatically.

Risk Scoring

Composite score based on domain age, infrastructure overlap, registration gaps, content duplication, and claim verification. Weighted, explainable, exportable.
