subfinder: Show only the subdomains found.
$ subfinder --silent -d ${example-com}
try on your machine

The command "subfinder --silent -d ${example-com}" is utilized in the command line interface for running the "subfinder" tool with specific options.

Here is an explanation of the components of the command:

  • "subfinder": This is the name of the executable tool that is being run. "subfinder" is a popular open-source subdomain enumeration tool used for discovering subdomains associated with a domain.

  • "--silent": This option instructs subfinder to run in silent mode, which means it won't display extraneous information or progress updates during execution. This is useful when you want a more concise output.

  • "-d ${example-com}": This option specifies the domain that you want to enumerate subdomains for. In this case, it uses "${example-com}" as a placeholder. The actual domain name should be placed there without the "${}" symbols. For example, if you want to enumerate subdomains for "example.com", replace "${example-com}" with "example.com".

So, when you run the command "subfinder --silent -d ${example-com}" in the command line interface, the "subfinder" tool will start silently enumerating the subdomains associated with the specified domain.
