OpenINTEL has just passed the major milestone of 5 trillion results. We reached this milestone in December 2020, at the end of our fifth full year of operation. Over 2020, we have added ccTLDs and realised a major additional data source with the daily measurement of the full IPv4 reverse DNS namespace. As our sixth year of operation starts, we remain dedicated to our mission of being the long-term memory of the DNS.

With thanks to SWITCH we have added the .ch and .li ccTLDs for Switzerland and Liechtenstein respectively.

As of the middle of February 2020, the OpenINTEL measurement has been extended to also cover the entire IPv4 reverse DNS name space. Like our other measurements, this measurement runs once every 24 hours. Using this data we hope to gain new insight into how the address space is managed, and to check, for example, consistency between forward and reverse DNS. This measurement adds an additional 1.1 billion data points per day, a data collection growth of over 45%.

We have added the .co ccTLD to the OpenINTEL measurement, increasing the number of domains measured by another 2 million.

We have added the open data .ee ccTLD for Estonia to the OpenINTEL measurement. The data for this ccTLD will be included in the open access datasets available through our data portal.

With thanks to the Namibia Network Information Center and dr. Eberhard Lisse, we can announce that as of May 24, 2019, the OpenINTEL measurement also covers the .na ccTLD and its public suffices. This extends the OpenINTEL measurement with the first ccTLD in Africa.

With thanks to the Registro de Dominios .gt we can announce that as of April 30, 2019, the OpenINTEL measurement also covers the .gt ccTLD. This extends the OpenINTEL measurement with the first ccTLD in Latin America.

This month, OpenINTEL has passed two major milestones! We passed four years of continuous measurements on March 1st, and passed the 3 trillion data points mark in the middle of March.

The OpenINTEL measurement has been extended to include the Cisco Umbrella top 1 million list of domains. This dataset is also released daily as an open dataset, read more about accessing our data here.
