amass-db: List all performed enumerations in the database.
$ amass db -dir ${path-to-database_directory} -list
try on your machine

The command "amass db -dir ${path-to-database_directory} -list" is used to display the contents of the Amass database stored in a specific directory.

Let's break down the command:

  • amass is the name of the tool or command-line program that is being executed.
  • db is a subcommand or option that allows the user to interact with the Amass database.
  • -dir is a flag used to specify the directory path where the Amass database is located.
  • ${path-to-database_directory} is a placeholder value that should be replaced with the actual directory path where the database is stored. This is the path to the Amass database directory on your computer.
  • -list is another flag that indicates the desired action, which is to display the contents of the Amass database.

Putting it all together, when you run this command in the command-line interface, it will access the Amass database located in the specified directory and display a list of its contents. This could include various collected data such as discovered subdomains, DNS information, IP addresses, and more, depending on what has been previously collected and stored in the database.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
