Whois has been replaced by RDAP.

  There are whois servers, and the whois command, so no, it has not. I agree that this is the goal.

    Clearly there is not a whois server here

      According to a new uncle to your comment, not whois or RDAP.

  As far as I am able to find Google does not provide an RDAP server for gle either.

    ICANN: “All gTLD registries and registrars are required to provide RDAP services.” They are listed at lookup.icann.org and the one in question is https://pubapi.registry.google/rdap/domain/c.gle https://pubapi.registry.google/rdap/domain/c.gle

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Registration_Data_Access_Protocol#WHOIS_replacement https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Registration_Data_Access_Proto... Even if you retrieve registration information about a domain, that will not necessarily help a consumer figure out if it is legitimate, or who owns it. There will be a lot of redactions and shell companies and generic information. The target market for WHOIS and RDAP has always been administrators and registrants and others on their level. Obviously--RDAP is a JSON format, not plain text anymore! As a consumer, if you're trying OSINT, try not to spread that around, because it is another opportunity for deception, confusion, and cargo culting. What you want is good malware protection, according to your actual risk profile. If your browser protection is worthwhile then it will stop attacks from domains like that. If you are particularly worried about strange domains, many 3rd-party DNS services can block those. NextDNS had a checkbox for "block newly-registered domains" as well as filtering any sus gTLD or ccTLD type ones.
