Origin

Born from real research

WhoisGenius started during internet-wide vulnerability research, where responsible disclosure depends on knowing exactly which organization operates a domain. Not the CDN. Not the registrar. The actual operator.

Existing tools were behind $50,000/year paywalls, returned nothing for GDPR-redacted domains, or produced confidence numbers with zero evidence. We built the tool we needed, then opened it up.

Use cases

Who uses WhoisGenius

Security Teams

Identify who operates phishing domains, investigate infrastructure behind threat campaigns, and produce attribution evidence for incident reports.

Legal & IP Enforcement

Build evidence for UDRP disputes, trademark enforcement, and cease-and-desist actions with signed attribution certificates that hold up to scrutiny.

Compliance & Risk

Screen domains for due diligence, verify vendor infrastructure claims, and maintain auditable records of domain operator attribution over time.

Narrative Intelligence

Map who controls media domains, track cross-domain operator portfolios, and correlate infrastructure to uncover coordinated information operations.

Approach

Why it works when other tools don't

Multi-source fusion

Instead of relying on WHOIS alone, WhoisGenius cross-references 12 intelligence sources simultaneously. When one source is redacted or masked, others fill the gap.

Domain registration records (WHOIS + RDAP)
SSL certificates and Certificate Transparency logs
DNS infrastructure and hosting records
IP ownership, ASN data, and reverse lookups
HTTP headers, analytics IDs, and page content
CDN bypass to reach origin infrastructure
Historical intelligence (passive DNS, ownership timelines)
GDPR-redacted field reconstruction via Domain Info API
Reverse WHOIS portfolio discovery (374M+ domains)

Full evidence chain

Every result is fully decomposable. You see exactly which sources contributed, how much weight each carried, and where disagreements occurred.

Per-signal confidence breakdown in every response
Weighted scoring with published methodology
Signed attribution certificates for legal use
Failure cases documented, not hidden
Historical results stored for longitudinal analysis
Optional AI enrichment for ambiguous edge cases
Pricing

Intelligence for teams, not enterprises

DomainTools charges $50,000+/year. Commodity WHOIS APIs give you raw data with no analysis. WhoisGenius gives you scored attribution with full evidence at a price that works for security teams, independent researchers, and legal professionals.
