Daily
DNS Zone Processing
What is ZoneFeeds?
ZoneFeeds is a Domain Threat Intelligence Platform (DTIP) that processes global DNS zone registry databases on a daily basis to identify malicious domain activity. It gives organizations early visibility into phishing campaigns, brand impersonation, and fraudulent domain registrations often before those threats become active attacks.
Built on open DNS and cyber threat intelligence (CTI) databases, ZoneFeeds fills a gap left by traditional threat intelligence platforms and passive DNS services, which typically only detect threats after domains have already been used in an attack.
ZoneFeeds processes Generic Top-Level Domain (gTLD) zone files daily identifying newly registered, lookalike, and suspicious domains as soon as they appear, not after they've caused damage.
Domain Threats ZoneFeeds Detects
Domain-based threats are often the first step in phishing, fraud, and brand abuse campaigns. ZoneFeeds provides early detection across the following threat categories:
Phishing & Fraud Domains
Identifies newly registered domains designed to mimic legitimate sites and deceive users into disclosing credentials or sensitive information.
Brand Impersonation
Detects domains that imitate your brand through typosquatting, lookalike registrations, and unauthorized use of trademarked names.
DNS Spoofing & Hijacking
Monitors for unauthorized DNS record modifications and domain hijacking attempts that could redirect users or intercept traffic.
Expired Domain Abuse
Tracks expired or lapsed brand-related domain variations that may be re-registered by third parties for malicious or competitive purposes.
How It Works
1
Zone Files Ingested Daily
ZoneFeeds processes Generic Top-Level Domain (gTLD) zone registry databases every day, capturing all newly registered and modified domain records globally.
2
Domains Analyzed & Classified
Each domain is analyzed against threat intelligence patterns including lookalike detection, known malicious infrastructure, and brand keyword matching to classify risk level.
3
Threat Feeds Generated
Flagged domains are compiled into structured threat feeds available as daily delta updates or full exports covering phishing, fraud, lookalike, and DNS abuse categories.
4
Delivered via API or Web Portal
Security teams access threat data through a REST API for automated ingestion into existing tools, or directly through the ZoneFeeds web portal for manual review and investigation.
5
Action Taken
Teams use ZoneFeeds intelligence to block malicious domains, initiate takedown requests, notify affected parties, or support legal and enforcement actions.
Core Features
Early Threat Detection
Detects phishing, fraud, and lookalike domains at the point of registration before they are weaponized against your organization or customers.
Brand Protection
Monitors for brand impersonation, typosquatting, and unauthorized use of trademarked terms across global domain registrations.
Daily Delta & Full Feeds
Choose from daily delta updates for incremental ingestion or full zone exports for comprehensive analysis both delivered on a consistent schedule.
REST API Access
Integrate ZoneFeeds intelligence directly into your SIEM, SOAR, or security tooling via a structured REST API enabling automated threat response workflows.
Global gTLD Coverage
Covers Generic Top-Level Domains across the global DNS namespace, providing broad visibility into domain-based threats regardless of TLD.
Audit Trails & Reporting
Full audit trails of malicious zone modifications and flagged domain records supporting compliance documentation and enforcement actions.
Takedown Support
Provides the domain evidence and documentation needed to support legal actions, registrar complaints, and infringing website takedown requests.
Web Portal Access
A dedicated web portal gives analysts direct access to browse, search, and investigate flagged domains without requiring API integration.
Use Cases & Compliance
ZoneFeeds supports a range of security and compliance use cases from proactive brand monitoring to meeting regulatory requirements around threat intelligence and incident response.
