amass-enum: Do a brute force search for subdomains.
$ amass enum -brute -d ${domain_name}
try on your machine
The command "amass enum -brute -d ${domain_name}" is used to perform enumeration and brute-forcing against a specific domain.
Here's a breakdown of each element in the command:
- "amass": This is the name of the tool that is being used. In this case, it refers to the "Amass" tool.
- "enum": This option instructs Amass to perform enumeration, which is the process of collecting information about a target domain.
- "-brute": This option enables the brute-force mode in Amass. Brute-forcing involves systematically checking all possible combinations of subdomains or domain names in order to find valid ones. By using this option, Amass will attempt to brute-force subdomains of the specified domain.
- "-d ${domain_name}": This specifies the target domain for which the enumeration and brute-forcing will be performed. "${domain_name}" is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual domain you want to target. For example, if you want to target "example.com", you would replace "${domain_name}" with "example.com".
To summarize, this command uses the Amass tool to enumerate and brute-force subdomains of a specific domain.
