## Health v2 (maintenance only)
Score: 77/100 (v2, computed 2026-09-03T02:20:16.233290+00:00)
- activity 100, release rhythm 35, longevity 100
- inputs: {"age_days": 1580, "days_push": 0, "days_rel": null, "gap_med": null, "n_releases_24m": 0}
- flags: no_releases
- formula: round(0.45*activity + 0.35*rhythm + 0.20*longevity); archived -> min(score, 10)

## What it is
A continuously updated, validated list of reliable public DNS resolver IP addresses maintained by Trickest. It ships three files: a main resolver list, an extended list with metadata, and a trusted-resolvers list for result re-validation.

## Use cases
- find reliable dns resolvers for subdomain enumeration
- feed a resolver list into massdns or shuffledns
- validate dns brute-force results with trusted resolvers
- get a fresh list of public dns servers for recon
- avoid false positives from unreliable dns resolvers
- download resolver wordlist for bug bounty recon

## When to choose
- you need a large, regularly validated resolver list for DNS enumeration or brute-forcing
- you want trusted resolvers (Cloudflare, Google) to double-check enumeration results
- you run automated recon workflows that consume plain-text resolver lists

## When to avoid
- you need a DNS server to run yourself rather than a list of third-party resolvers
- you need a DNS client library or API rather than static IP lists
- your tooling requires resolver metadata in a structured format beyond the extended text file

## Facets
- artifact type: dataset
- maturity: active
- function: networking, security, developer-tools
- domain: security, networking, penetration-testing
- platform: cross-platform, cli
- tags: dns-resolvers, wordlist, subdomain-enumeration, bug-bounty, osint, recon
