Subfinder - Subdomain Discovery Tool That Can Discover Massive Amounts Of Valid Subdomains For Any Target
SubFinder is a subdomain discovery tool that uses various techniques to discover massive amounts of subdomains for any target. It has been aimed as a successor to the sublist3r project. SubFinder uses Passive Sources, Search Engines, Pastebins, Internet Archives, etc to find subdomains and then it uses a permutation module inspired by altdns to generate permutations and resolve them quickly using a powerful bruteforcing engine. It can also perform plain bruteforce if needed. The tool is highly customizable, and the code is built with a modular approach in mind making it easy to add functionalities and remove errors.
Why?
This project began it's life as a Bug Bounty World slack channel discussion. @ice3man & @codingo were talking about how the cornerstone subdomain tool at the time, sublist3r, appeared to have been abandoned. The goal of this project was to make a low dependancy, manageable project in Go that would continue to be maintained over time. @Ice3man decided to rewrite the sublist3r project and posted about it. @codingo offered to contribute to the project and subfinder was born.
Features
- Simple and modular code base making it easy to contribute.
- Fast And Powerful Bruteforcing Module (In Development)
- Powerful Permutation generation engine. (In Development)
- Many Passive Data Sources (CertDB, CertSpotter, crtsh, DNSDumpster, FindSubdomains, Hackertarget, Netcraft, PassiveTotal, PTRArchive, SecurityTrails, Threatcrowd, VirusTotal)
- Internet Archives support for finding subdomains (In development)
Install
The installation is easy. Git clone the repo and run go build.
go get github.com/ice3man543/subfinder
Put these values in the config.json file and you should be good to go.
If your $GOPATH is /home/go, make sure to place your config.json file in $GOPATH/bin folder or wherever you have the binary. Otherwise, it will not work.
