dnsmap:tldr:dc32a
The command "dnsmap" is used for domain name system (DNS) enumeration, which means it is used to gather information about the DNS records of a target domain.
Let's break down the command:
-
${example-com}: This is a placeholder for the target domain you want to enumerate. Replace it with the actual domain name you want to scan. For example, if you want to scan example.com, replace ${example-com} with example.com.
-
-w: This flag is used to specify the wordlist or dictionary file containing a list of subdomains or hostnames. Each entry in the wordlist will be used to conduct DNS lookups to gather information.
-
${path-to-wordlist-txt}: This is a placeholder for the path to the wordlist text file. Replace it with the actual path to the file on your system. Make sure to provide the correct file path including the file name and extension. For example, if the wordlist file is located at /home/user/wordlist.txt, replace ${path-to-wordlist-txt} with /home/user/wordlist.txt.
So, when you run the command with the appropriate values, dnsmap will use the specified wordlist to perform DNS lookups on the target domain and provide you with information about its subdomains or hostnames.
