Admin overview#

The admin interface lets you manage the data that powers Domain Security Information. You can add brands, set up record tags, verify domains, track IP address ranges, run automated scans, and monitor how the system is used.

Accessing the admin interface#

The admin interface is at admin.domainsecurityinfo.com. Access is protected by Cloudflare Access. You must log in through the configured identity provider before you can reach any admin page. Requests without a valid Cloudflare Access token are rejected.

What the admin interface manages#

The admin interface controls the knowledge base that the tool uses to identify services and brands when someone looks up a domain or IP address. Without this data, the tool would still show raw DNS and WHOIS information — but it would not be able to label providers with colored badges or associate domains with organizations.

Core data types#

Data type	What it does	Example
Brands	Represent organizations that own services, domains, and IP ranges	Google, Cloudflare, Microsoft
TXT record tags	Match patterns in TXT records to identify services	google-site-verification= → Google
MX record tags	Match patterns in MX records to identify email providers	.google.com → Google Workspace
NS record tags	Match patterns in NS records to identify DNS providers	.ns.cloudflare.com → Cloudflare
Regex patterns	Use regular expressions to match complex TXT record formats	^[a-f0-9]{32}$ → Verification token
Verified domains	Confirm that a domain belongs to a specific brand	google.com → Google
IP prefixes	Map IP address ranges to the brands that own them	8.8.8.0/24 → Google
Verified ASNs	Link autonomous system numbers to brands	AS15169 → Google
Known services	Categorize domains by the type of service they provide	sendgrid.net → email

Monitoring and reporting#

Feature	What it does
Analytics	Shows how the public tool is used: request counts, popular domains, response times, and geographic distribution
Audit logging	Records every admin action for security review and compliance
Enterprise scanning	Runs automated domain analysis on a schedule and tracks changes over time
Known domains	Tracks large numbers of domains for historical monitoring
Dashboard	Shows summary counts and recent changes at a glance

System management#

Feature	What it does
Users	Shows who has admin access and when they last logged in
Import and export	Backs up and restores the knowledge base
Brand merge tool	Safely combines two brands into one
Unknown records	Shows DNS records that don't match any tags, so you can add new ones
Data dictionary	Describes every field the system stores

Dashboard#

The dashboard is the first page you see after you log in. It shows:

Total counts — How many brands, tags, verified domains, IP prefixes, and other records exist in the system.
Recent changes — The most recent additions and edits across all data types.
Quick actions — Shortcuts to add a new brand, tag, or domain.

How the data fits together#

Brands are the foundation. Most other data types connect to a brand:

Brand (for example, "Google")
├── TXT record tags (patterns in TXT records that indicate Google services)
├── MX record tags (patterns in MX records that indicate Google email)
├── NS record tags (patterns in NS records that indicate Google DNS)
├── Verified domains (domains confirmed to belong to Google)
├── IP prefixes (IP ranges owned by Google)
└── Verified ASNs (autonomous system numbers operated by Google)

When someone looks up a domain on the public website:

The tool fetches the domain's live DNS records and WHOIS data.
It checks each DNS record against the tag database and regex patterns to identify known services.
It checks the domain against the verified domains database.
It checks resolved IP addresses against the known IP prefixes database.
It displays the results with brand badges, color coding, and service labels.

The admin navigation is organized into sections:

Dashboard — Summary of the system.

Help — Built-in documentation and troubleshooting guidance.

Revision tracking#

Every change to brands, tags, verified domains, IP prefixes, and verified ASNs is tracked with revision history. The system records:

What was changed.
When it was changed.
Who made the change.
The previous and new values.
A version number that increases with each change.

You can view the revision history for any item to see its complete change log. This is useful for troubleshooting and auditing.

What is public vs. what is admin-only#

Available to everyone	Available only to administrators
Live domain lookups	Historical analysis data
Live IP lookups	Change detection and tracking
Current DNS records and WHOIS data	Analytics and usage statistics
Brand badges and service identification	Audit logs
JSON API (/raw/{domain})	User management
	Enterprise scanning
	Known domains database
	Import and export
