CIA 2010 covert communication websites securitytrails.com Updated 2025-07-16
They appear to piece together data from various sources. This is the most complete historical domain -> IP database we have so far. They don't have hugely more data than viewdns.info, but many times do offer something new. It feels like the key difference is that their data goes further back in the critical time period a bit.
TODO do they have historical reverse IP? The fact that they don't seem to have it suggests that they are just making historical reverse IP requests to a third party via some API?
E.g. searching
thefilmcentre.com under historical data at securitytrails.com/domain/thefilmcentre.com/history/al gives the correct IP 62.22.60.55.Account creation blacklists common email providers such as gmail to force users to use a "corporate" email address. But using random domains like
ciro@cirosantilli.com works fine.Their data seems to date back to 2008 for our searches.
Mitochondrial DNA mutates faster than nuclear DNA Updated 2025-07-16
Wikipedia mentions "Since animal mtDNA evolves faster than nuclear genetic markers" with a few sources.
Some sources:
- Power, Sex, Suicide by Nick Lane (2006) page 361 mentions:so this property is also important for the human mitochondrial molecular clock.
While nuclear DNA can barely distinguish between chimps and humans, the mitochondrial clock ticks fast enough to reveal differences accumulating over tens of thousands of years
- www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3350313 says it for metazoans

CIA 2010 covert communication websites viewdns.info Updated 2025-07-16
Their historic DNS and reverse DNS info was very valuable, and served as Ciro's the initial entry point to finding hits in the IP ranges given by Reuters.
Generic information about the website not specific on this project will be stored at: Section "viewdns.info".
Since this source is so scarce and valuable, we have been quite careful to note down all the domain and IP ranges that have been explored.
At news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38496244, the creator of the viewdns.info, "Hughesey", also stated that he'd able to give some free credits for public research projects such as this one. This would have saved up going to quite a few Cafes to get those sweet extra IPs! But it was more fun in hardmode, no doubt.
We do API access to IP ranges with this simple helper: ../cia-2010-covert-communication-websites/viewdns-info.sh, usage:e.g.:
./viewdns-info.sh <apikey> <start-ipv-address> <end-ipv-address>./viewdns-info.sh 8b890b00b17ed2d66bbed878d51200b58d43d014 66.45.179.187 66.45.179.210For domain to IP queries from the API you should use "iphistory" viewdns.info/api/docs/ip-history.php:
curl 'https://api.viewdns.info/iphistory/?domain=todaysengineering.com&apikey=$APIKEY&output=json'Just beware of the viewdns.info reverse IP bug, that really sucks and led to us missing a ton of domains.

CIA 2010 covert communication websites Wayback Machine Updated 2025-07-16
D'oh.
But to be serious. The Wayback Machine contains a very large proportion of all sites. It does happen sometime that a Wayback Machine archive is missing or broken and cqcounter has the screenshot. But the Wayback Machine is still the most complete database we have found so far. Some archives are very broken. But those are rare.
The only problem with the Wayback Machine is that there is no known efficient way to query its archives across domains. You have to have a domain in hand for CDX queries: Wayback Machine CDX scanning.
The Common Crawl project attempts in part to address this lack of querriability, but we haven't managed to extract any hits from it.
CDX + 2013 DNS Census + heuristics however has been fruitful however.
We have dumped all Wayback Machine archives of known websites to: github.com/cirosantilli/cia-2010-websites-dump using ../cia-2010-covert-communication-websites/download-websites.sh. This allows for better grepping and serves as a backup in case they ever go down.
CIA 2010 covert communication websites Wayback Machine CDX scanning Updated 2025-07-16
The Wayback Machine has an endpoint to query cralwed pages called the CDX server. It is documented at: github.com/internetarchive/wayback/blob/master/wayback-cdx-server/README.md.
This allows to filter down 10 thousands of possible domains in a few hours. But 100s of thousands would be too much. This is because you have to query exactly one URL at a time, and they possibly rate limit IPs. But no IP blacklisting so far after several hours, so it's not that bad.
Once you have a heuristic to narrow down some domains, you can use this helper: ../cia-2010-covert-communication-websites/cdx.sh to drill them down from 10s of thousands down to hundreds or thousands.
We then post process the results of cdx.sh with ../cia-2010-covert-communication-websites/cdx-post.sh to drill them down from from thousands to dozens, and manually inspect everything.
From then on, you can just manually inspect for hist on your browser.
