App Tracking Networks

This repository contains two bipartite graphs: A network of companies companies.txt and a network of domains domains.txt.

These networks were created from the Lumen dataset, containing details of 10 546 774 network transmissions from 48 717 apps.

The networks are provided as nodelists in the TSV (tab-separated values) format. In every line of the files, the first entry in the TSV file indicates the app, the other the contacted domain respectively company by the app.

These nodelists are compatible with the network analysis software UCINET, but can easily be transformed into other network file formats.

The company names were obtained using the Disconnect list of tracking companies and their respective domains.
