Overview

Farsight Newly Active Domains (NAD) is a real-time threat intelligence feed provided by DomainTools. It leverages over 5 terabytes of daily passive DNS data to identify an average of 100,000 newly reactivated domains each day. These domains, which have been dormant and become active again, are often exploited by malicious actors for activities such as phishing, spam, and malware distribution. By monitoring these reactivations, Farsight NAD enables organizations to detect and mitigate potential threats promptly.
