Passive API sources plus a recursive DNS brute-force with target-specific subdomain mutations.
# find subdomains of evilcorp.com
bbot -t evilcorp.com -p subdomain-enum

bbot -t evilcorp.com -p subdomain-enum -rf passive
subdomain-enum.ymldescription: Enumerate subdomains via APIs, brute-force
flags:

BBOT consistently finds 20-50% more subdomains than other tools. The bigger the domain, the bigger the difference. To learn how this is possible, see How It Works.

A BBOT Discord Bot that responds to the /scan command. Scan the internet from the comfort of your discord server!
BBOT accepts an unlimited number of targets via -t. You can specify targets either directly on the command line or in files (or both!):
bbot -t evilcorp.com evilcorp.org 1.2.3.0/24 -p subdomain-enum
Targets can be any of the following:
DNS_NAME (evilcorp.com)IP_ADDRESS (1.2.3.4)IP_RANGE (1.2.3.0/24)OPEN_TCP_PORT (192.168.0.1:80)URL (https://www.evilcorp.com)For more information, see Targets. To learn how BBOT handles scope, see Scope.
Similar to Amass or Subfinder, BBOT supports API keys for various third-party services such as SecurityTrails, etc.
The standard way to do this is to enter your API keys in ~/.config/bbot/bbot.yml. Note that multiple API keys are allowed:
modules:
shodan_dns:
api_key: 4f41243847da693a4f356c0486114bc6
c99:
# multiple API keys

If you like, you can also specify them on the command line:
