Patent number: 9769035Abstract: Systems and methods for scoring a domain including analyzing counter data and information obtained from a web site associated with the domain. Methods may include receiving requests to resolve the domain at an authoritative domain resolution server. A counter may be incremented for the domain based on the received requests. Information may be obtained from a web page associated with the domain. For example, obtaining information from the web page may include obtaining quantitative, qualitative, and/or functional information from the web page, such as link information, a status of network links corresponding to the link information, and associated ratios. The status of link information may include searching for functional details and/or results, such as, domain redirections, domain errors, mirror content, and commonly linked sites. A score may be calculated for the domain based upon the counter data and the information obtained from the web page associated with the domain.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2014Date of Patent: September 19, 2017Assignee: VERISIGN, INC.Inventors: Alexander D. Holmes, Andrew W. Simpson, Karthik Shyamsunder, Srinivas Sunkara, Eyal Lanxner, Nir Zohar, Leonard Orentas, Matt Larson, Mark Kosters, Shevek Mankin, Tamir Kamara

Publication number: 20160261470Abstract: Systems and methods for scoring a domain web traffic based on DNS traffic requests received at an authoritative name server to resolve the domain name. A request to resolve the domain name is received at an authoritative name server. A counter, such as a server counter or a hit counter, for the domain name is incremented based on the received request. A score, such as a domain traffic score or a domain rank, is calculated based upon a count of the counter. Calculating the score may also include applying a weighting factor to the counters based on information about a requesting set of resolvers and other domains/websites that may be linking and driving traffic to the domain whose traffic score is being calculated. Examples of relevant set of resolvers information may include location, traffic levels, traffic type and architecture of the set of resolvers.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 22, 2013Publication date: September 8, 2016Applicant: VERISIGN, INC.Inventors: Alexander D. Holmes, Andrew W. Simpson, Karthik Shyamsunder, Srinivas Sunkara, Eyal Lanxner, Nir Zohar, Leonard Orentas, Matt Larson, Mark Kosters, Shevek Mankin, Tamir Kamara
