About ME!

Written by Sourena on Aug 01, 2023

Hello 👋

My name is Sourena.

I have a PhD degree in informatique with the focus on DNS (Abuse) measurement. Most of my work is related to design and implementation of services and infrastructures for scanning and measuring different aspects of Domain Name System (DNS) especially DNS Abuse.

During My PhD, I designed and implemented a practical classifier for distinguishing maliciously registered from compromised domains (more info ICANNwiki, SIDN Labs and, AFNIC). You can also download the slides.

Currently, I am working (as CTO) in a small company (startup) in Grenoble, France called KORLabs. My daily job is mostly dealing with domain names, TLDs and everything related to them. DNSAI COMPASS, is one of the reports that I monthly generate. 

Here is My Google scholar and Github and LinkedIn. Do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions/comments/ideas.

I maintain a small project called URLAbuse to list different types of DNS abuse such as phishing, malware delivery and compromised domains.

The website has been designed by one of my friends using HTML, JavaScript and Bootstrap. I know it's not beautiful but I tend to keep it as it is since it's easy to work with.
