Show HN: Browse Internet Infrastructure
Source: Hacker News
Introduction
I’m launching Wirewiki.com today! Wirewiki makes the internet’s hidden infrastructure browsable.
Background
I quit my job 5 years ago to scale Nslookup.io. After reaching 600 k monthly users, I hit a ceiling—I couldn’t naturally expand beyond DNS because of the domain name.
What Wirewiki Is
Instead of a collection of tools, Wirewiki is a browsable graph of internet infrastructure. I’ve spent hundreds of hours and many commits building it. It’s still under 10 % of the vision I have, but it’s already useful and, in my biased opinion, much better than what’s out there.
Current Features
- DNS lookup
- DNS propagation checks
- Zone transfer testing
- SPF record validation
- Full IPv4‑space scan for DNS servers, with indexing
Future Plans
I’m actively adding more data and tools. If you notice anything that feels off, please let me know!
Monetization & Sustainability
Wirewiki will remain open and free. Once it gains a substantial user base, I plan to introduce sponsorship or brand integration from hosting providers, registrars, and CDNs—services that users are likely to need. My goal is to keep Wirewiki free from display ads, and I’m confident that model is viable.
Feedback
I feel like I’ve developed tunnel vision, so any feedback is welcome.
