Privacy Implications of Windows Server 2016 Telemetry: Summary: Top Domains for Telemetry Over HTTPS

Posted on

These domain names were collected from 505 days of continuous recording of Windows Server 2016 telemetry traffic. Virtual machine and traffic recording software was configured as explained here. Raw traffic dumps were processed as explained here.

List of https-related domains has 336 entries, sorted in descending order by total number of outgoing HTTPS connections initiated by Windows Server 2016 operating system (with telemetry level set to zero (Security) and without any third party software). We did not include domains which had less than 3 outgoing HTTPS connections.

All this traffic was encrypted in such way that it can’t be decrypted by end user or ISP, only by Microsoft and third parties trusted by Microsoft.
