What it is
Reads the registration record for the domain: the registrar it was bought through, when it was created and when it expires, the status codes currently set on it, and the nameservers it delegates to.
Why it matters
Dates are the strongest signal here. A domain registered three weeks ago behaves very differently from one that has been renewed since 2004. Status codes show whether it is locked against transfer, or sitting in a grace period after expiry.
How this assessment works
Skopeon Labs queries public infrastructure signals and authoritative network protocols directly from external sensor nodes. All evaluations are completely non-invasive and agentless, assessing observable configurations without sending malicious payloads or disrupting service.
Operational Scope & Limitations
This check evaluates public perimeter responses observable at the time of inquiry. Endpoints protected behind third-party reverse proxies or CDNs reflect the edge configuration of the proxy layer.
