Digital Footprint

The Digital Footprint module in our platform is a powerful toolkit designed to uncover hidden risks, provide deep visibility into domain infrastructure, and protect against advanced threats such as impersonation, misconfigurations, and exposures. By combining multiple intelligence tools in one interface, it empowers security teams to investigate domains, DNS, IPs, and VPNs with precision. This module elevates our system into a complete cyber threat intelligence hub, ensuring organizations stay proactive, not reactive.

The Digital Footprint suite includes the following tabs:


1. Whois Lookup

  • What it does: Provides detailed registration and ownership data of a domain, similar to a WHOIS command.

  • How to use: Enter the domain (e.g., example.com) in the search field and click Get Whois Data.

  • What you see:

    • Domain metadata: Creation Date, Expiry Date, Last Updated Date, and Days Left until renewal.

    • Registrar details: Registrar name, country, IANA ID, customer support contacts.

    • Registrant & Admin contacts: Names, emails, phone numbers, and addresses of registered owners or admins.

    • DNS information: Active nameservers (e.g., ben.ns.cloudflare.com).

    • Domain status: Such as ok, pending, or locked, with ICANN reference codes.

    • Legal disclaimer & terms: Ensures data is for lawful use only.

📌 This feature is crucial for identifying domain ownership, renewal risks, and potential malicious infrastructure.


2. Shared DNS Servers

  • What it does: Reveals all hostnames and domains that share the same DNS server.

  • How to use: Input a DNS nameserver (e.g., ns4-09.azure-dns.info) and click Find Host Records.

  • What you see: A complete list of domains tied to that DNS server (banks, corporations, organizations, etc.).

📌 This is highly valuable in threat investigations — if one domain is compromised, all domains sharing the same DNS server may be at risk.


3. Reverse DNS Lookup

  • What it does: Discovers the domain name associated with an IP address by reversing DNS records.

  • Use case: Enter an IP address to identify the host or domain linked to it.

  • Why it matters: Helps analysts uncover hidden infrastructure or confirm the legitimacy of assets.


4. Reverse IP Lookup

  • What it does: Maps all domains hosted on a specific IP address.

  • Use case: Enter an IP to list every domain tied to it.

  • Why it matters: Reveals shared hosting environments, possible attack surfaces, or shadow IT.

📌 Together, Reverse DNS and Reverse IP give 360° visibility into how domains, IPs, and servers are interconnected.


5. IDN Generator (Homograph Attack Detection)

  • What it does: Detects Internationalized Domain Name (IDN) homograph attacks used in phishing and impersonation.

  • How to use: Enter your domain (e.g., example.com), and the system generates lookalike variations using Unicode characters.

  • What you see:

    • Original Domain Variations with deceptive characters.

    • Punycode Representation showing how attackers could encode and register fake domains.

📌 This is critical for brand protection, preventing phishing campaigns, and detecting impersonating domains.


6. VPN IP Leak Checker

  • What it does: Checks if your VPN IP address or subnet has been leaked or exposed on the dark web.

  • How to use: Enter your VPN IP (e.g., 1.2.1.0) and click Get VPN Data.

  • What you see:

    • If no data exists: “No leak found.”

    • If found: The system alerts you with details of the leak and provides remediation guidance.

📌 This feature is powered by dark web datasets, ensuring organizations can verify whether their VPN infrastructure is compromised.


Why This Matters

By integrating Whois, DNS intelligence, reverse lookups, IDN detection, and VPN leak analysis into one system, we provide an enterprise-grade Digital Footprint suite. This enables:

  • Early detection of impersonation and phishing risks.

  • Infrastructure mapping to uncover hidden exposures.

  • Real-time alerts on VPN leaks tied to dark web datasets.

  • Confidence in compliance, brand protection, and proactive defense.

Our system doesn’t just monitor it empowers organizations with actionable intelligence to stay ahead of attackers.
