FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

How do you discover subdomains?

From certificate transparency logs and passive DNS records. Nothing is sent to the domain itself.

Is subdomain scanning legal?

Passive enumeration only reads public data sources. We do not scan or brute-force the target.

How many subdomains can you find?

It depends on how many certificates and DNS observations exist for the domain. Large organizations often have hundreds.
