Data sources
We use multiple data sources for this website. First, DNS query data is collected using ENTRADA, a tool for analysing very large volumes of DNS data. Also, data has been collected using DMAP, a crawler and classification tool. Both tools are developed by SIDN Labs. Additionally, data is collected by OpenINTEL, a measurement platform to capture daily snapshots of the state of large parts of the global Domain Name System. OpenINTEL is a joint project of the University of Twente, SURF, NLnetLabs, and SIDN Labs. Abuse reports are collected by Netcraft. SIDN uses this system in the context of our Abuse204.nl-program.

Academic papers
We publish many of our findings in academic papers. But our research doesn't stop with publishing a paper. For this reason, we publish a selection of our measurements also on this website. You can also download the raw data directly. You can find a full list of scientific publications by SIDN Labs here.
