amass-intel: Find root domains belonging to a given Autonomous System Number.
$ amass intel -asn ${asn}
try on your machine

The command amass intel -asn ${asn} uses the Amass tool to gather intelligence and information about a specific Autonomous System Number (ASN).

Here is a breakdown of each part of the command:

  • amass: This is the command-line tool being used.
  • intel: It is a command or subcommand of Amass that focuses on gathering intelligence or information.
  • -asn: This flag specifies that the following argument is an ASN. ASN refers to an Autonomous System Number, a unique identifier assigned to an Internet Service Provider (ISP) or organization.
  • ${asn}: This is a placeholder for the actual ASN you want to target. You would replace ${asn} with the desired ASN number.

By running this command with a specific ASN, Amass will perform various DNS and network reconnaissance techniques to collect domain names, IP addresses, and other related information associated with that ASN. The gathered intelligence can be helpful in security assessments, understanding network infrastructure, and identifying potential vulnerabilities.
