Systems and methods for discovery of brand-registered domain names

A domain name discovery system, comprising:

• a processor;
• a non-transitory computer-readable medium;
• and
• stored instructions translatable by the processor to perform:
• obtaining WHOIS data and infrastructure data for a seed domain, the WHOIS data containing domain name registration information for the seed domain;
• determining whether the domain name registration information for the seed domain is private;
• responsive to the domain name registration information for the seed domain being private, performing an infrastructure data matching procedure utilizing the infrastructure data for the seed domain;
• responsive to the domain name registration information for the seed domain not being private, performing a WHOIS data matching procedure utilizing the WHOIS data for the seed domain;
• iteratively performing the obtaining and the determining for each domain name found through the infrastructure data matching procedure or through the WHOIS data matching procedure until no domain name is found;
• performing a reverse lookup procedure for each domain name found through the infrastructure data matching procedure or through the WHOIS data matching procedure, the reverse lookup procedure comprising:
• obtaining, from a WHOIS database, WHOIS data for the each domain name;
• determining a registered WHOIS field value from the WHOIS data for the each domain name;
• and
• querying the WHOIS database for domain names having a registered WHOIS field value that fully matches the registered WHOIS field value for the each domain name;
• and
• generating a user interface for presenting, on a client device communicatively connected to the domain name discovery system, domain names discovered through the WHOIS data matching procedure, the infrastructure data matching procedure, and the reverse lookup procedure.
