Takedown Evidence Package

When you've found a malicious domain, the next hurdle is proving it. This assembles a one-pass takedown package — the reputation verdict, who owns it, the abuse lists naming it, and the infrastructure around it — laid out ready to hand to a registrar or hosting provider so the takedown actually sticks.

How it uses the graph

Traverses the threat-intel, DNS, WHOIS layers of the graph, in 7 steps:

Why each step runs

  1. 01Threat verdict. Opens the dossier with the authoritative sourced verdict that justifies pursuing a takedown at all.
  2. 02Threat-feed listings. Cites the specific LISTED_IN feeds (minus popularity lists) plus the score and level — third-party corroboration a registrar/host will accept.
  3. 03WHOIS owner, registrar & contact. Names the registrar and registrant organisation — the accountable parties and the addressees of an abuse complaint.
  4. 04Registration age (NRD signal). Surfaces creation date via whisper.history; a newly-registered domain is a strong abuse indicator that strengthens the case.
  5. 05Resolving IPs + network owner. Maps the domain to its IP, prefix and named ASN, identifying the host that abuse contact must also reach.
  6. 06Co-hosted domains (the wider campaign). Reverse-resolves the IP to surface co-hosted siblings — the wider campaign that should be taken down alongside the seed.
  7. 07Registered look-alikes. Lists existing brand variants so related squats are bundled into the same takedown rather than left to resurface.
