Old Internet Files

So I hunted and hunted, found what I could, and put them online here. Note that they cannot be guaranteed to be accuarate; it is likely that at least a few were modified 'back in the day' for then-useful purposes. And it is also possible (although unlikely) that someone could have modified some of the files for more nefarious purposes.

UPDATE: There's a similar page at https://emaillab.jp/dns/hosts/. There are a number of files there that are not here, and vice versa, so please check it out.

hosts.txt

domain-info.txt

It is a list of all known domains, although mostly covers the gTLDs (listing ccTLDs as 'No known domains under this top level domain'). It starts with a line "DDN NIC DOMAIN SUMMARY" followed by the date.

domain-contacts.txt

It, too, mostly covers gTLDs. It starts with a line "DDN NIC DOMAIN CONTACTS" followed by the date.

Domain Files

I have omitted .gov and .mil, as these appear to have been removed from search engines. I don't see the harm in nearly 20-year-old zone files, but want to be respectful. And no, those files aren't on this server.

Zone Files

Here are some that were once freely available. Note that I cannot add zone files that are properly protected (e.g. require signing a zone file access agreement that prohibits publication, as is usually the case now).
