BinaryEdge — official minion API, FCrDNS-confirmed
by shop owners for shop owners.
Offizielle Minion-API (api.binaryedge.io/v1/minions) + FCrDNS: 4.149 von 6.412 bidirektional bestätigt (PTR prod-*-<region>-N.awp.binaryedge.ninja, Forward zurück auf dieselbe IP). Plus IPv6 (api.binaryedge.io/v1/minions-ipv6): 2.623 von 2.702 self-ID per Reverse-PTR *.binaryedge.ninja, davon 1.148 voll FCrDNS (IPv6-Forward-Zone nur teilweise befüllt). Gesamt 4.149 IPv4 + 2.623 IPv6.
BinaryEdge (Coalition, US/PT) runs an internet-wide security scanner. Not an SEO tool. The scan nodes (“minions”) are officially listed via API (api.binaryedge.io/v1/minions). We checked every one of the 6,412 listed IPs via FCrDNS. Part of our PARC Security feed.

Verification — every IP individually
The official API returned 6,412 IPv4 minions. We don’t trust the list blindly but checked every IP via Forward-Confirmed Reverse DNS: PTR must point to prod-*-<region>-N.awp.binaryedge.ninja and the forward A record back to the same IP.
6,412 IPs (API) → 4,149 FCrDNS-confirmed (64.7%)
The remaining 2,263 are PTR-only, rotated or timed out — they are not in the feed. No sampling, no extrapolation.
IPv6 (official minions-ipv6 API, 2,702 addresses): 2,623 self-identify via authoritative reverse PTR *.binaryedge.ninja — 1,148 of them full FCrDNS, the rest reverse-only because binaryedge only partially maintains the IPv6 forward zone (AAAA). We take the 2,623 reverse-confirmed /128.
