quien

Research

Use the quien CLI for domain and IP lookups: WHOIS/RDAP, DNS, mail authentication, TLS certificates, HTTP headers, SEO analysis, and tech stack detection. Activate when the user asks about a domain's owner, registrar, expiry, DNS records, mail config (SPF, DMARC, DKIM, BIMI), SSL certificate, HTTP headers, SEO, Core Web Vitals, tech stack, CMS, hosting, or IP address info (ASN, network, abuse contact).
