Hello, happy to explain what is going on here. I use various methods to discover sub domains of any root-domain I add to my list. One of those methods is VirusTotal, but unfortunately it also introduces some junk like you see here.

I have additional steps to verify all entries have valid DNS responses, however, some DNS servers use wildcarding, which means anything- even these junk entries- will still have a valid DNS response.

I go through and delete them from time-to-time, it's obviously been awhile since I've done it and so I need to do it again.

I hope that explains everything!
