The command you provided is used to execute the subfinder tool with certain parameters and values. Here is the breakdown:

subfinder is the name of the tool or command you are running. This command-line tool is typically used for subdomain discovery.

-r is a parameter or flag used to specify the DNS resolvers. It is followed by ${8-8-8-8},${1-1-1-1} which represents two DNS resolver addresses. In this case, 8.8.8.8 and 1.1.1.1 are the DNS resolvers being used.

-d is another parameter or flag used to specify the domain for which you want to discover subdomains. ${example-com} is the placeholder used here, but in a real scenario, you would replace it with the actual domain you want to scan for subdomains.

In summary, this command is instructing the subfinder tool to use the DNS resolvers 8.8.8.8 and 1.1.1.1, and scan for subdomains of the domain example.com.
