Hi HN,

I've been working on building a pipeline to create a DNS records database lately. The goal is to enable research as well as competitive landscape analysis on the internet.

The dataset for now spans around 4 billion records and covers all the common DNS record types:

    A
    AAAA 
    ANAME
    CAA
    CNAME
    HINFO
    HTTPS
    MX
    NAPTR
    NS
    PTR 
    SOA
    SRV
    SSHFP
    SVCB
    TLSA
    TXT
Each line in the CSV file represents a single DNS record in the following format: www.example.com,A,93.184.215.14

Let me know if you have any questions or feedback!

Would love the option of torrenting the file, download seems quite slow, and hopefully it would save you some bandwidth!

I was thinking about that, I’ll experiment by adding a .torrent file :)
