About Us - NETATLAS

The internet is often treated as permanent — but in practice it's closer to shifting sand. Websites get redesigned, posts vanish, domains change owners, IP ranges move between providers, and an address that looked benign last month can become a botnet relay today. When content disappears, we lose more than convenience: we lose context, accountability, and the ability to verify claims.

NetAtlas was created to preserve that missing context.

We combine three ideas into one platform:

Network and website intelligence — the practical, investigator-friendly metadata that helps you understand who is behind an online presence and how it has changed.
Historical tracking — a timeline view that shows changes across domains, IP addresses, and URLs, not as isolated snapshots but as an evolving story.
Automatic archiving — continuous indexing that does not depend on users submitting URLs or curating collections.

What NetAtlas does

NetAtlas continuously crawls and indexes publicly available web resources and network-facing metadata to build a searchable timeline. In simple terms: we record what was reachable, when it was reachable, and how it looked or behaved at that time.

Depending on the resource, this can include:

Domain history and signals (ownership and infrastructure changes, hosting/provider movement, DNS transitions, observed services)
IP intelligence (network ranges, hosting context, behavioral indicators, related domains and URLs)
URL-level history (content availability over time, redirects, structural changes, page fingerprints)
Evidence-friendly snapshots (timestamped captures designed to support verification and referencing)

The goal is not to replace existing tools, but to give you something most tools lack: time.

Who it's for

NetAtlas is built for anyone who needs to answer questions like:

What content used to be on this domain last year?
When did this IP start serving a different website or application?
Was this page public at a specific time, and what did it contain?
Did this domain change ownership, purpose, or infrastructure?
Are multiple domains or URLs connected by shared hosting patterns?

Our users range from SOC and threat intelligence teams to investigative journalists, researchers, compliance professionals, incident responders, policy analysts, and developers.

Why automatic indexing matters

Traditional archives are invaluable, but they can't capture everything — and many preservation workflows depend on someone noticing a page before it disappears. NetAtlas reduces that gap by indexing proactively. The result is a broader safety net against link rot and sudden deletions, and a more complete record of the internet's moving parts.

We believe that the ability to verify what existed online — and when — should be reliable, fast, and accessible.

Our principles

Utility over noise: we optimize for investigator workflows and practical answers.
Respect for boundaries: we focus on publicly reachable content and handle requests responsibly.
Time-aware truth: the same domain or IP can mean different things at different moments.
Preservation with purpose: archiving is not hoarding — it's enabling verification.
