By contrast, searching for recursors is (unless you've discovered some

interested to hear about that) some that can be detected, so that
the abusers can be identified.

1. Host some popular content somewhere which will be resolved (most of the time) using a DNS name whose authority servers you control.

2. Turn on query logging on the authority servers.

3. Wait.

4. Extract list of recursive servers from log.

That finds you a long list of recursive servers. You can then either refine the list by probing individual servers to see whether they will perform recursive queries for you, or you can assume that enough of them will be open that the duds really don't matter.

The more popular the content, the less time will elapse in step 3.
