Wirewiki Launches as a Free, Open Map of Internet Infrastructure
Wirewiki officially launches with
a bold mission: to make the internet's underlying infrastructure transparent,
navigable, and understandable for everyone.
Unlike traditional lookup tools that answer isolated queries,
Wirewiki interlinks infrastructure assets - including domain names, IP
addresses, and DNS servers - allowing users to browse the internet's wiring as
a connected system. The platform is free and open by default.
Wirewiki is built for website
owners troubleshooting their setup, as well as DevOps engineers who need a
clearer picture of how internet infrastructure fits together. By turning
fragmented technical data into an interconnected experience, Wirewiki makes it
possible to move seamlessly between related assets instead of running one-off
queries.
The platform launches with DNS lookup, DNS propagation checking, SPF validation as well as IP address
and DNS server data. Beyond that, Wirewiki is looking to expand into domain
registrar, hosting provider, CDN and ASN data later this year.
"After building Nslookup.io and serving over 600,000 monthly users, I realized I had hit the natural ceiling of what a DNS-focused product could become," said founder Ruurtjan Pul. "So I asked: how would I build this today, knowing what I know now? Wirewiki is the result - a platform designed not just to answer questions, but to help people explore how the internet is wired together."
As part of its launch, Wirewiki continuously scans the entire IPv4
space to identify active DNS servers, monitors their availability, and
publishes the results. This creates one of the most comprehensive publicly
accessible overviews of live DNS infrastructure.
The launch comes at a time when concerns are growing about the
concentration of internet infrastructure within a small number of global
providers. As digital systems become more critical - economically and
geopolitically - transparency of foreign dependence are increasingly important.
Wirewiki aims to contribute to a more open understanding of how the internet
operates beneath the surface.
