DNS + Email + Cloud Footprint Profiler

Given a list of domains, returns a rich technographic profile based on public DNS records. Pure DNS over HTTPS (Google + Cloudflare resolvers), no scraping, no auth, fast and accurate.

What it returns

• MX provider: Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Proofpoint, Mimecast, Cisco, Zoho, Fastmail, ProtonMail, self-hosted, etc.
• SPF status: record present, syntactically valid, all-mechanism strictness.
• DKIM signals: common selector probes (google, k1, selector1, dkim).
• DMARC policy: none, quarantine, reject, percentage.
• Nameserver host: Cloudflare, Route53, GoDaddy, Namecheap, Dynadot, etc.
• CDN / proxy: Cloudflare, Akamai, Fastly, CloudFront, Sucuri (from CNAME / IP range).
• Hosting: AWS, GCP, Azure, DigitalOcean, Hetzner, OVH (from PTR / IP block).
• SaaS signals from TXT verification records: Atlassian, Salesforce, HubSpot, Stripe, Adobe, Zoom, Webex, AWS SES, SendGrid, Postmark, Mailgun, Klaviyo, Intercom, Zendesk, Notion, Linear, GitHub Pages.
• Domain age hint: from registrar TTL signals (best-effort, since WHOIS isn't queried).

Why use this

• Sales targeting: identify "lives on Microsoft 365" or "uses SendGrid" prospects in bulk.
• Security: surface domains missing SPF/DMARC, easy phishing targets.
• Migration teams: audit a portfolio's current email + DNS posture before consolidation.
• Investors / analysts: triangulate vendor stack across a target list.

Input

{ "domains": ["airbnb.com", "stripe.com", "github.com"] }

Pairs well with

• Shopify Store Detector and WordPress Stack Detector: pair DNS-level signals with web-stack technographics for the full picture.
• Email Finder & Verifier: confirm MX/email vendor here before running enrichment.
• SaaS Spend Scanner: use DNS TXT signals as a vendor-list seed for the spend scanner.
• AI Sales Personalizer: feed exact vendor stack into outbound copy that references the prospect's actual tools.
• ATS Job Aggregator: combine hiring-signal with vendor-stack for trigger-event outbound.

Limitations

• DoH resolvers can occasionally return SERVFAIL on misconfigured domains. The actor retries once via the alternate resolver.
• DKIM detection is selector-probe based (the standard 8 selectors). Custom selectors won't appear in dkim_selectors_found but the record may still exist.
