About
DNS already knows. We just make it readable.
Every IT team has terabytes of DNS logs and no time to read them. Security and networking teams need to know which AI tools, shadow-IT apps, and risky domains employees are reaching, without deploying yet another agent on every endpoint.
ShadowDNS is focused on one job: turning DNS activity into actionable visibility reports. Upload a DNS log and receive a structured assessment in minutes. No agents, no deployment, and no additional infrastructure required.
We start with the question every IT and security team actually asks: “what's running on our network that we don't know about?” We answer it in plain language, with the evidence to back it up.
Detection Transparency
Every finding includes supporting domains, evidence, and reasoning. ShadowDNS favors transparent detections over black-box scoring so IT and security teams can validate results independently.
Why I built ShadowDNS
I work in DNS, network visibility, and troubleshooting, and I regularly see how much operational and security insight already exists within DNS data.
Over time, one pattern became clear: the answers were often already in the logs, but extracting useful information from raw DNS data was time-consuming and difficult to communicate.
ShadowDNS was created to make DNS visibility easier to understand, review, and act on through structured reports instead of raw log files.
It's an independent project that continues to evolve through real-world testing and user feedback. If something is unclear, missing, or incorrect, I'd like to hear about it at hello@shadowdns.org.
