amass-viz: Generate a Gephi Graph Exchange XML Format (GEXF) file based on database data.
$ amass viz -gexf -dir ${path-to-database_directory}
try on your machine

The command "amass viz -gexf -dir ${path-to-database_directory}" is used to generate a visualization of network infrastructure using the Amass tool.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "amass" is the command-line interface (CLI) tool that is being executed.
  • "viz" is a command within Amass that generates a visualization of the discovered network infrastructure.
  • "-gexf" is an option that specifies the output format of the visualization in GEXF (Graph Exchange XML Format), which is a standard file format for graph representation.
  • "-dir ${path-to-database_directory}" is an option that specifies the directory path where the Amass database is stored. This allows Amass to access the data it has gathered during the reconnaissance phase to create the visualization.

In summary, the command is telling Amass to create a visualization of the network infrastructure using the GEXF format, and it specifies the location of the Amass database directory to access the necessary data.

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.
