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:

  1. Subdomain Enumeration:

    dnsenum example.com

    Initiates a basic subdomain enumeration on the target domain "example.com," identifying additional subdomains.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.
