# How to Use WHOIS tab

Every domain you look up in Silent Push comes with **complete historical WHOIS data,** including every change, every registrant, every email, every name server, going back years. And every blue value is a **one-click pivot** across the entire Silent Push WHOIS database.

This is how you turn one phishing domain into an entire actor’s portfolio.

## Open Any Domain in Total View

Search any domain. Click the result, and you’re now in **Total View**.

Scroll down and click the **WHOIS** tab.

The moment the tab loads, you get:

- **First Seen Date** – when the WHOIS record was originally created
- **Current & Historical SOA records**
- **Complete change timeline** – every single WHOIS update with exact dates

## Expand Any Date

Click the **Expand** arrow next to any date, even if nothing looks changed.

You now see **every field Silent Push captured at that exact moment**:

- Registrant Name / Organization
- Registrant Email (the real jackpot)
- Registrant Phone & Address
- Name Servers (past and present)
- Registrar
- All dates (creation, updated, expiry)

On the right: **Previous Value** vs **New Value** — instantly spot stealthy changes.

## One-Click Pivot on Anything Blue

- No copying. No pasting. Just click.
  - Click a blue **registrant email,** and Silent Push instantly shows every domain ever registered with that exact email.
  - Click a blue **name server,** and you’ll see every domain that has ever used it.
  - Click a blue **registrant name** or **organization,** and the same thing happens.

## Real-World Example Workflows

- **Who really owns this phishing domain?**
  - Open Total View, go to the WHOIS tab, expand the latest date, click the blue registrant email, and instantly see dozens of other domains registered with the same address.
- **Is this hosted on bulletproof infrastructure?**

Look at the name server history, click on an old name server, and instantly reveal hundreds of malicious domains that used the same provider.
- **Did the actor try to cover their tracks?**

Check the timeline, expand multiple dates, and watch them switch from a real name to “PrivacyProtect.org” or “Redacted for Privacy”.

## Tips

- Always expand **multiple dates** — actors frequently flip back and forth between identities.
- Combine with the **PADNS** tab to see which IPs those old name servers pointed to.
- Combine with the **Web Search** tab to spot reused registrant emails on a completely different infrastructure.
