DNS + Email + Cloud Footprint Profiler

👁 DNS + Email Footprint Profiler - MX, SPF, DMARC, SaaS Stack

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.

Output

{
"domain":"stripe.com",
"mx_provider":"Google Workspace",
"mx_records":["aspmx.l.google.com","alt1.aspmx.l.google.com"],
"spf_pass":true,
"spf_record":"v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all",
"dmarc_policy":"reject",

}

Pairs well with

• shopify-store-detector: For Shopify targets, layer in 25+ app fingerprints. $0.03 per store.
• wordpress-stack-detector: For WP targets, layer in 30+ plugin fingerprints. $0.02 per site.
• saas-spend-scanner: Estimate monthly spend per detected vendor. $0.01 to $0.03.
• ai-sales-personalizer: Reference detected MX/SaaS vendors in outreach. $0.10 to $0.20 per lead.

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.
