DNSenum
DNSenum is a powerful open-source tool used for DNS enumeration and information gathering.
Purpose: DNSenum is designed to discover and extract valuable information related to DNS records, subdomains, and zone transfers.
Key Features:
Subdomain Enumeration
Zone Transfer Analysis
Network Range Scanning
WHOIS Information Retrieval
Enumeration using Dictionary Files
Examples:
Subdomain Enumeration:
dnsenum example.com
Initiates a basic subdomain enumeration on the target domain "example.com," identifying additional subdomains.
Zone Transfer Analysis:
dnsenum --enum -f /path/to/targets.txt
Conducts zone transfer analysis on a list of target domains specified in the file, revealing authoritative name servers.
Network Range Scanning:
dnsenum --enum -r 192.168.1.0/24
Performs DNS enumeration on a specific network range (CIDR notation) to identify active hosts and associated DNS records.
WHOIS Information Retrieval:
dnsenum --enum -w -f /path/to/targets.txt
Fetches WHOIS information for the domains listed in the specified file, providing details about domain registration.
Enumeration using Dictionary Files:
dnsenum --enum -f /path/to/targets.txt -w /path/to/wordlist.txt
Utilizes a dictionary attack approach, attempting to enumerate subdomains using a specified wordlist.
Use DNSenum responsibly and adhere to ethical hacking guidelines and legal constraints when conducting security assessments.
