Seems to be from 6 years ago.
Just to have a compressed static file that contains all the routes one could download from time to time I think would be interesting to analyze. Same goes for the anycast root DNS servers. To have a full dump from them could be interesting. Not to be confused with the root.zone [1] I mean the whole kit and caboodle.

When I needed this for some work stuff, it was pretty easy to find table dumps and work with them? I don't remember where it was, but I'm sure you can find some. After an acquisition, we had our own ASN and I was able to get table dumps from our own infrastructure.

What do you think the root servers have that's not in the root.zone? I think you can AXFR from the root servers, too, but it should be the same thing as from the https site.

This is conflating BGP routes and DNS.

DNS data: Root server data is available via AXFR ("dig . AXFR @f.root-servers.net") but this isn't what you're referencing.

Second level TLD server data is available is available at CZDS. (https://czds.icann.org/home) but some TLDs don't participate, but this also isn't what you're referencing.

What I think you want: There is no canonical list of all zones that exist - there is no "central repository" once you pass the root zone downwards - that's a feature, not a bug. Some organizations have partial views based on large recursive resolver data (DomainTools, Google, Cisco, Cloudflare, Quad9) but access to that data is limited to vetted researchers or more typically only available at a cost (disclaimer: I work for Quad9.) Smaller versions of recursive data sets exist, but are usually significantly limited by geography and demographics of the user community that generates the data set.

BGP route data: This exists in many forms in realtime like the site referenced above, though historic data is difficult to track. No matter what the source or latency, there is bias in the data set because BGP pathing is unique to each ASN that collects it - no two views of the table are identical, and any data set is as "best guess" at state conditions at that time.

Here are some possible data sets for BGP:

Packet Clearing House (PCH) provides a set of snapshots going back 20+ years (though it seems to be offline at the moment): https://www.pch.net/resources/Routing_Data/

Cymru has a live version you can query via various APIs (including ironically via DNS): https://www.team-cymru.com/ip-asn-mapping

Routeviews from University of Oregon also has a data set that is widely used by researchers: https://www.routeviews.org/routeviews/

Ignorant question here: Isn't this an open port for BGP poisoning?
does anyone know where can i buy rDNS records? purpose is find all domains hosted on specific ip for a monthly price? I think crawling all my own is big environment waste of resources, i'd be happy to pay for a subscription or somethign
