black.host

We performed a comprehensive analysis of black.host on 2026-06-28. The website returned an HTTP 200 status code with a server response time of 6598ms. The page is served over HTTP/2 protocol with Gzip compression enabled, achieving approximately 60.0% size reduction. The total page weight is 76 KB, and the site is served behind a CDN (Content Delivery Network). Warning: The website does not have a valid SSL certificate. Visitors may see security warnings in their browser, and data transmitted to and from this website is not encrypted. The security headers analysis reveals a score of 70/100 (good). The following security headers are properly configured: Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security (HSTS), X-Content-Type-Options, and Referrer-Policy. However, the site is missing X-Frame-Options and Permissions-Policy, which could expose the site and its users to cross-site scripting (XSS), clickjacking, and other web-based attacks. Our technology detection scan identified 9 technologies across 8 categories powering black.host. The detected stack includes Bootstrap, Google Tag Manager, Intercom, reCAPTCHA v3, Cloudflare, StackPath, Google Fonts, jQuery, and Font Awesome. Based on our comprehensive analysis of domain age, SSL configuration, email authentication, security headers, and blacklist status, black.host receives an overall trust score of 79/100, classified as "Likely Safe".

After conducting a thorough safety and legitimacy analysis, black.host receives a trust score of 79/100, which places it in the "Likely Safe" category. This score is calculated by evaluating multiple factors including SSL certificate validity, domain registration history, email authentication protocols, security header configuration, and blacklist status across major threat intelligence databases. The analysis identified several positive trust signals: a valid HTTPS connection protecting data in transit, HSTS (HTTP Strict Transport Security) enforcement preventing protocol downgrade attacks, SPF (Sender Policy Framework) email authentication preventing email spoofing, DMARC email authentication with a reject policy — the strongest available setting, DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) providing cryptographic email verification, and DNSSEC providing authenticated DNS responses. Areas of concern include: no X-Frame-Options header, which could allow the site to be embedded in malicious iframes (clickjacking) and the domain's WHOIS information is hidden behind a privacy service, making it harder to verify the owner's identity. While these issues don't necessarily indicate malicious intent, they represent areas where the website's security posture could be improved. We checked black.host against 8 major blacklist databases including Google Safe Browsing, Phishtank, Urlhaus, Openphish, Dnsfilter, Spamhaus Dbl, Surbl, and Virustotal. The domain passed all 8 checks with a clean status, meaning it has not been flagged for phishing, malware distribution, spam, or other malicious activities by any of the tested threat intelligence providers.

Our technology detection engine scanned black.host and identified 9 distinct technologies across 8 categories. This analysis is performed by examining HTTP response headers, HTML source code patterns, JavaScript library fingerprints, CSS framework signatures, and DNS records.

black.host resolves to the IPv4 address 172.66.40.97 and also supports IPv6 (2606:4700:3108::ac42:2b9f), demonstrating modern network infrastructure readiness. The domain has 2 A record(s) configured. The domain name system is managed by 2 name servers: dave.ns.black.host and hal.ns.black.host. Having 2 name servers provides good redundancy — if one fails, the others can continue serving DNS queries. The choice of name servers often indicates the DNS hosting provider or CDN service being used. Email for black.host is handled by black.host with 1 MX records configured: hermes.mx.black.host. Multiple MX records provide failover redundancy — if the primary mail server is unavailable, email will be routed to the next available server. SPF (Sender Policy Framework) is configured, which specifies which mail servers are authorized to send email on behalf of this domain. This helps prevent email spoofing and improves email deliverability. DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting and Conformance) is configured with a reject policy — the strongest setting, instructing receiving servers to reject unauthorized emails entirely. DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) is configured, adding a cryptographic signature to outgoing emails that receiving servers can verify to confirm the email hasn't been tampered with in transit. DNSSEC is enabled for black.host, providing an additional layer of security by cryptographically signing DNS records. This prevents DNS cache poisoning and man-in-the-middle attacks that could redirect visitors to malicious websites. Our subdomain enumeration scan discovered 5 active subdomains for black.host: dev.black.host, docs.black.host, mail.black.host, staging.black.host, and www.black.host. Active subdomains can reveal the organization's infrastructure, including development environments, API endpoints, and third-party service integrations.
