NAME
dnsmap - scan for subdomains using bruteforcing techniques
SYNOPSIS
dnsmap <target-domain> [options]
DESCRIPTION
dnsmap scans a domain for common subdomains using a built-in or an exter-
nal wordlist (if specified with -w option). The internal wordlist has
around 1000 words in English and Spanish as ns1, firewall, servicios and
smtp. So will be possible search for smtp.example.com inside example.com
automatically. Results can be saved in CSV and human-readable format for
further processing. dnsmap does NOT require root privileges to be run, and
should NOT be run with such privileges for security reasons.
dnsmap was originally released back in 2006 and was inspired by the fic-
tional story "The Thief No One Saw" by Paul Craig, which can be found in
the book "Stealing the Network - How to 0wn the Box".
dnsmap is mainly meant to be used by pentesters during the information
gathering/enumeration phase of infrastructure security assessments. During
the enumeration stage, the security consultant would typically discover
the target company's IP netblocks, domain names, phone numbers, etc.
Subdomain bruteforcing is another technique that should be used in the
enumeration stage, as it's especially useful when other domain enumeration
techniques such as zone transfers don't work (is rare to see zone trans-
fers being publicly allowed these days by the way).
Fun things that can happen:
1. Finding interesting remote access servers (e.g.: https://ex-
tranet.example.com).
2. Finding badly configured and/or unpatched servers (e.g.:
test.example.com).
3. Finding new domain names which will allow you to map non-obvi-
ous/hard-to-find netblocks of your target organization (reg-
istry lookups - aka whois is your friend).
4. Sometimes you find that some bruteforced subdomains resolve to
internal IP addresses (RFC 1918). This is great as sometimes
they are real up-to-date "A" records which means that it *is*
possible to enumerate internal servers of a target organization
from the Internet by only using standard DNS resolving (as op-
posed to zone transfers for instance).
5. Discover embedded devices configured using Dynamic DNS services
(e.g.: IP Cameras). This method is an alternative to finding
devices via Google hacking techniques.
OPTIONS
-w <wordlist-file>
Use an external wordlist instead of the built-in one. You can use
programs as crunch or cupp to generate personalized wordlists.
-r <regular-results-file>
Save results to a plain text file. If a file name isn't supplied,
dnsmap will create an unique filename which includes the current
timestamp. e.g.: dnsmap_example_com_br_2019_11_15_214812.txt. So,
you can provide a directory name only, as -r /tmp.
-c <csv-results-file>
Save results in CSV format in a file. If a file name isn't pro-
vided, dnsmap will create something as dnsmap_exam-
ple_com_br_2019_11_15_220114.csv. This is a similar behaviour from
-r option.
-d <delay-millisecs>
Limit of random delay in milliseconds between successive queries.
Delay value is a maximum random value. e.g. if you enter 1000, each
DNS request will be delayed a *maximum* of 1 second. By default,
dnsmap uses a value of 10 milliseconds of maximum delay between DNS
lookups. It is recommended to use the -d (delay in milliseconds)
option in cases where dnsmap is interfering with your online expe-
rience. i.e.: killing your bandwidth. If used, delay must be be-
tween 1 and 300000 milliseconds (5 minutes).
-i <ips-to-ignore>
IP addresses to ignore in the results (useful if you get obtaining
false positives). Use commas without spaces to separate the IP ad-
dresses. The maximum number of IPs to filter is 5. Example:
203.0.113.10,198.51.199.65
INTERNAL WORDLIST
The built-in wordlist is defined in src/dnsmap.h file. If needed, see the
file to know all words.
EXAMPLES
Subdomain bruteforcing using dnsmap's built-in wordlist:
$ dnsmap example.com
Subdomain bruteforcing using a user-supplied wordlist:
$ dnsmap example.com -w wordlist.txt
Subdomain bruteforcing using the built-in wordlist and saving the results
to /tmp/ :
$ dnsmap example.com -r /tmp
Example of subdomain bruteforcing using the built-in wordlist, saving the
results to /tmp/, and waiting a random maximum of 300 milliseconds between
each request:
$ dnsmap example.com -r /tmp/ -d 300
Subdomain bruteforcing with 0.8 seconds delay, saving results in regular
and CSV format, filtering 2 user-provided IP and using a user-supplied
wordlist:
$ dnsmap example.com -d 800 -r /tmp/ -c /tmp/ -i 10.55.206.154,10.55.24.100 -w ./wordlist_TLAs.txt
BUGS
Currently, dnsmap does not yet support parallel scanning and hence take
quite a long time.

root@kali:~# man dnsmap-bulk
dnsmap-bulk(1) mass scan using dnsmap dnsmap-bulk(1)
NAME
dnsmap-bulk - mass scan using dnsmap
SYNOPSIS
dnsmap-bulk <domains-file> [results-path]
DESCRIPTION
dnsmap-bulk is used to bruteforce several target domains in bulk fashion.
In other words, is possible get a list of domains from a file to scan mul-
tiple targets using dnsmap as backend.
WARNING: using dnsmap-bulk, dnsmap will always use the default options,
i.e. built-in wordlist, delay = 10 ms, never ignoring IPs.
OPTIONS
domain-file
A file with domains to be scanned, one per line.
results-path
A path where the results will be saved. dnsmap will use the -r op-
tion to name files and will be created a file for each domain. This
item is optional and if not supplied, dnsmap won't create files.
EXAMPLE
For bruteforcing a list of target domains in a bulk fashion, saving all
results inside a directory:
$ dnsmap-bulk domains.txt /tmp/results/
