TLD WAC
There are 264 TLDs (top-level domains) that the analog log analysis software knows about. TLDs are things like “.com”, “.org”, “.us”, and “.uk” that you find at the end of domain names. And for several years I have been keeping track of the TLDs of visitors to mcgees.org. My goal is to have a visitor from each TLD, the internet equivalent of a ham’s “Worked All Countries”. This may not be feasible — some TLDs may be obsolete, and some will just be damned difficult, like “.kp”, North Korea — but I’m keeping track of it. You can follow the progress
of my domain visitors here. As of yesterday, I knew of visits from 141 TLDs.
Today, though, I ran jdresolve on my log entries, which does lookups on unknown IP addresses, and nabbed seven more: Air Transport Industry, Bahrain, Kenya, Monaco, Maldives, Togo, and Tanzania! I’m now at 148. Stay tuned.
