Internet · twenty desks

Names, wires,
and what is behind them.

The plumbing end of the estate: what a domain is worth and whether anybody has it, what a certificate log remembers about it, whether a host is reachable from six continents, and a room you can put a hundred people in on a seven-character code. Every probe here runs from your own browser, so what you look up is not passing through a desk of ours on the way.

What they share

The probe runs from your browser.

These desks query public registries and public endpoints directly. What you look up is not collected by a desk of ours on the way past, there is no key to obtain, and where a lookup has to go through a relay the page says which one and why. The lookups, probes and checkers in this room are free to run.
