The command amass -help ${subcommand} is used to obtain help information for a specific subcommand within the amass tool.

Here's a breakdown of the different parts of the command:

  • amass: This is the name of the tool itself. It is an open-source reconnaissance tool used for domain enumeration, network mapping, and information gathering.

  • -help: This option is used to display the help information for the given subcommand. It provides details about the usage, available options, and examples related to that particular subcommand.

  • ${subcommand}: The placeholder ${subcommand} represents the specific subcommand for which you want to obtain help information. You need to replace ${subcommand} with the actual subcommand you want help for.

For instance, if you want help with the subcommand enum, you would use the command amass -help enum. Similarly, if you want help with the track subcommand, you would use amass -help track.

By executing this command, you will receive a detailed explanation of the usage and available options for the selected subcommand. It assists you in understanding how to appropriately use that particular functionality of the amass tool.
