Historic datasets (from 2014 onwards) for the .nl TLD. Datasets are available in JSON format.
Datasets cover information about:
Google Project Zero tracks a list of zero day exploits discovered in the wild. They track public resources to find uses of zero days and collect them in this spreadsheet. The spreadsheet contains data since 2014. Their blog provides an introduction and explanation of the spreadsheet.
Historical DNS database. Access can be requested for academic use.
Activly queries many DNS records, e.g., .com zone.
It can contain information not in DNSDB, if the information was never seen by a resolver.
It does not contain all informatin, as some domains may be unknown to the project and thus cannot be crawled.
It uses popular zones, domain lists (e.g., Alexa, blacklists) and other domain feeds.
They normally maintain a rolling 14-day window.
Copy files (for date 2017-10-05) (ddos@gladbeck):
sftp -B1024000 -C -rp "activedns@kokino.gtisc.gatech.edu:active-dns/20171005/" .
The data is encocded in AVRO format, which can also be parsed as JSONL. Python has a AVRO library. AVRO schema:
{
"namespace": "astrolavos.avro",
"type": "record",
"name": "ActiveDns",
"fields": [
{"name": "date", "type": "string"},
{"name": "qname", "type": "string"},
{"name": "qtype", "type": "int"},
{"name": "rdata", "type": ["string", "null"]},
{"name": "ttl", "type": ["int", "null"]},
{"name": "authority_ips", "type": "string"},
{"name": "count", "type": "long"},
{"name": "hours", "type": "int"},
{"name": "source", "type": "string"},
{"name": "sensor", "type": "string"}
]
}
Some more information about some fields that are unique to that schema. The IPs in Authority IP are the collection of the authority name server IPs that replied to our query. We gather all the IPs that gave us the same answer for an entire day and concatenate them on the same field, mostly in order to reduce the number of records that we have to keep. The only field that might be slightly confusing, is the "hours" field. This is a 24bit integer that encodes the time of day we saw this RR for date date (for example, 000000000000000001000010 = 18:00 and 23:00). Another important thing to keep in mind, is NXDOMAINs. A resolved QNAME does not exist when both the rdata and ttl fields are equal to null. If rdata exists but ttl is null then the record was part of the glue of the DNS packet and not in the answer section.
