This is often seen as an issue for system administrators who want to make enumeration of sub-domains and other DNS data hard for malicious actors. -However, when it comes to TLDs and the root nameservers, zone transfers are shown in a different light. Zone transfers at this level can be benificial as they are an easy way for a TLD to be transparent about its DNS changes. This project is **not** meant to encourage TLD DNS hosting providers to disable global zone transfers but rather to gather data on the ever-changing zone information for the Internet's TLDs. +However, when it comes to TLDs and the root nameservers, zone transfers are shown in a different light.
