DNS changes. Every change. Documented.

Every time an A record shifts, every nameserver update, every new TXT entry — DNSReplay captures it all and lets you step backward through time.

Stop wondering "when did that change?" — find out in seconds.

Built different.

Unlike security platforms that dump data and walk away, DNSReplay is designed to be explored.

Timeline Browser

Scrub through DNS record history like a video timeline. See how infrastructure evolved, step by step, without running a single API query.

Reverse Search

Not sure when something changed? Search backward — find when a specific IP first appeared, or when a nameserver first showed up in your domain's history.

All Record Types

A, AAAA, MX, NS, TXT, CNAME, SOA, PTR — every record type, going back years. Complete infrastructure archaeology, not partial snapshots.

Export & Embed

Export any historical snapshot as JSON, CSV, or a shareable link. Build DNS history into your workflows, reports, and investigations.

Who uses it.

Incident Response

Trace an attacker's infrastructure

Reconstruct the timeline of a compromised domain. When did it first point to this IP? What nameservers were active during the breach window? Build your timeline from DNS history — not guesswork.

Brand Protection

Find typosquatters before they launch

Monitor lookalike domains across DNS history. Catch domains that are freshly registered or have recently changed DNS — often the signal that a copycat site is about to go live.

Domain Investing

Research drop candidates

Before you bid on an expired domain, see its full DNS history. What services were running on it before it dropped? Any red flags in the record timeline? Know what you're buying.

OSINT Research

Track infrastructure across time

Build adversary profiles by correlating DNS history across targets. See when different domains shared the same nameservers — a strong signal of common control.

The internet remembers everything you do on it — except DNS.

The Wayback Machine proved there's immense value in browsing the web's past. Pages change, disappear, get rewritten — and archive.org was there.

DNS records change too. Infrastructure pivots. IPs get reassigned. Nameservers switch. And when you need that history — for a legal case, a security investigation, or just to understand what happened — it's usually gone. Or locked behind a $2,000/year security subscription.

DNSReplay exists because DNS history should be browsable, not just queryable. Because the internet's infrastructure history belongs to everyone.
