Make sure to add the appropriate endpoint before running any scans. To run the tool on a target, just use the following command. The subdomains discovered can be piped to other tools too. For example, you can pipe the discovered subdomains to Pull the latest tagged subfinder docker image: Running Running Subfinder can also be used as library and a minimal examples of using subfinder SDK is available here Read the usage disclaimer at DISCLAIMER.md and contact us for any API removal.
Fast passive subdomain enumeration tool.
subfinder
is a subdomain discovery tool that returns valid subdomains for websites, using passive online sources. It has a simple, modular architecture and is optimized for speed. subfinder
is built for
doing one thing only - passive subdomain enumeration, and it does that very well. Features
Usage
subfinder -h
Usage:
./subfinder [flags]
Flags:
INPUT:
-d, -domain string[] domains to find subdomains for
-dL, -list string file containing list of domains for subdomain discovery
SOURCE:
-s, -sources string[] specific sources to use for discovery (-s crtsh,github). Use -ls to display all available sources.
-recursive use only sources that can handle subdomains recursively (e.g. subdomain.domain.tld vs domain.tld)
-all use all sources for enumeration (slow)
-es, -exclude-sources string[] sources to exclude from enumeration (-es alienvault,zoomeyeapi)
FILTER:
-m, -match string[] subdomain or list of subdomain to match (file or comma separated)
-f, -filter string[] subdomain or list of subdomain to filter (file or comma separated)
RATE-LIMIT:
-rl, -rate-limit int maximum number of http requests to send per second
-rls value maximum number of http requests to send per second four providers in key=value format (-rls "hackertarget=10/s,shodan=15/s")
-t int number of concurrent goroutines for resolving (-active only) (default 10)
UPDATE:
-up, -update update subfinder to latest version
-duc, -disable-update-check disable automatic subfinder update check
OUTPUT:
-o, -output string file to write output to
-oJ, -json write output in JSONL(ines) format
-oD, -output-dir string directory to write output (-dL only)
-cs, -collect-sources include all sources in the output (-json only)
-oI, -ip include host IP in output (-active only)
CONFIGURATION:
-config string flag config file (default "$HOME/.config/subfinder/config.yaml")
-pc, -provider-config string provider config file (default "$HOME/.config/subfinder/provider-config.yaml")
-r string[] comma separated list of resolvers to use
-rL, -rlist string file containing list of resolvers to use
-nW, -active display active subdomains only
-proxy string http proxy to use with subfinder
-ei, -exclude-ip exclude IPs from the list of domains
DEBUG:
-silent show only subdomains in output
-version show version of subfinder
-v show verbose output
-nc, -no-color disable color in output
-ls, -list-sources list all available sources
OPTIMIZATION:
-timeout int seconds to wait before timing out (default 30)
-max-time int minutes to wait for enumeration results (default 10)
Installation
subfinder
requires go1.20 to install successfully. Run the following command to install the latest version:go install -v github.com/projectdiscovery/subfinder/v2/cmd/subfinder@latest
Post Installation Instructions
subfinder
can be used right after the installation, however the following services require configuring API keys to work:subfinder -ls
command to display all the available sources.$HOME/.config/subfinder/provider-config.yaml
file which will be created when you run the tool for the first time. The configuration file uses the YAML format. Multiple API keys
can be specified for each of these services from which one of them will be used for enumeration.Censys
