Which sources does research trust?

See the list of domains Quox will read from when it researches a security question.

What you get: the exact allow-list of sites Quox treats as trustworthy when it researches, so you know where an answer came from. You need: QuoxCORE. About 2 minutes.

domains
quox research domainssource: built-in defaultnist.govcisa.govcve.org=cve.mitre.org=cveawg.mitre.org=www.kernel.org=developers.cloudflare.com=attack.mitre.org=www.python.org=docs.python.org=go.dev=www.postgresql.org/docs/openssl.orgopenssh.commsrc.microsoft.com
From a real run on the demo profile. Shortened: the built-in list is longer.

The first line tells you where the list comes from. Here it is the built-in default that ships with Quox. A plain line is a whole domain Quox trusts. A line starting with = is a narrower match, such as a single path on a site, so research stays on the pages that carry the authority.

The command only read the allow-list. It changed nothing and raised no approval. When Quox researches a security question, it reads only from these sources, so an answer always traces back to a site you can see here.

Run quox research domains any time to confirm the list before you trust a research answer. If the first line says built-in default, nobody has customised it for your organisation.
