amass: Execute an Amass subcommand.
$ amass ${subcommand}
try on your machine

The command "amass ${subcommand}" is a way to run the Amass tool with a specific subcommand.

Amass is a reconnaissance tool used for enumerating and mapping applications in a network. It helps in discovering subdomains, IP addresses, open ports, and other related information. The "${subcommand}" is a placeholder, and it should be replaced with the desired subcommand from the available options provided by Amass.

For example, if you want to enumerate subdomains of a domain, you can use the subcommand "enum" like this:

amass enum -d example.com

Here, "enum" is the subcommand used to request an enumeration, and "-d example.com" is an argument that specifies the target domain.

The specific subcommands available in Amass can vary depending on the version and configuration of the tool. To see the available subcommands for your installed version, you can run "amass -h" or "amass --help" in the command line.

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.
