--- ## How It Works Multithreaded DNS resolver validates every domain in the blocklist against live DNS records (A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, NS). Only domains with active infrastructure are flagged as live threats. ```mermaid %%{init: {"theme":"base", "themeVariables": { "background": "transparent", "mainBkg": "#000000", "primaryColor": "#000000", "primaryTextColor": "#FFFFFF", "primaryBorderColor": "#FF0000", "lineColor": "#FF0000", "secondaryColor": "#111111", "tertiaryColor": "#111111", "fontFamily": "Inter, system-ui, sans-serif"}, "flowchart": {"curve": "basis", "htmlLabels": true}}}%% flowchart LR Input["📥 list.json"] --> Script["⚙️ active_domains.py
