Domain info Lookup

Enter a valid or registered naked domain name.

Understanding the digital.zyx Script

🌐 Overview

The digital.zyx script performs an in-depth analysis of domain names using RDAP (Registration Data Access Protocol) as its main data source. While RDAP handles the heavy lifting for domain and IP lookups, WHOIS is still used to display raw domain data and to verify expiration dates from both the registry and registrar.

⚙️ How It Works

1. RDAP Lookup
   The script starts by performing two RDAP queries for the domain. This retrieves structured JSON data containing:
   • Registrar and registry details
   • Domain status and lifecycle events
   • Authoritative name servers
   • Creation and expiration dates
   RDAP also powers the IP information lookups when you click “More Info” beside any IP address in the DIG section.
2. WHOIS Integration (for Raw Data)
   After parsing RDAP results, the script uses the whois command to:
   • Retrieve the raw WHOIS output displayed at the bottom of the results page.
   • Cross-check and extract expiration dates from both registry and registrar sources.
3. The Awesome Undying DIG
   • Retrieves the A, MX, and NS records of the domain.
   • Resolves the IP addresses associated with each NS and MX record.

🔎 A, MX & NS Records Investigation

When you click More Info beside any record:

• For A Records, it will show more details directly from RDAP.
• For MX and NS records (since they point to hostnames), the script first resolves them to IP addresses.
• Then, clicking More Info beside an IP triggers another RDAP lookup, giving detailed information about the network or organization behind that IP.

🧩 Domain Status & Lifecycle

Each RDAP-reported domain status is mapped to its official definition from ICANN’s EPP Status Codes page . You can view these explanations by clicking the ‘?’ icon beside each domain status on the results page.

🧠 Record History

Clicking the shield icon before the A Record, MX Record, or Name Servers — or the record label itself — will take you to SecurityTrails.com, where you can see how those records have changed over time.
