A subdomain is a part of a larger domain name that allows for the organization and separation of different sections or services of a website. For example, in blog.example.com, "blog" is the subdomain, while "example.com" is the main domain. Subdomains are often used to host different parts of a site, like mail.example.com for email services or shop.example.com for an online store.
Sublist3r is a tool designed for subdomain enumeration. It leverages OSINT (Open Source Intelligence) to gather subdomains of a target domain without direct interaction, meaning it doesn't brute-force subdomains unless specified. Instead, it collects information from various search engines and public sources like Google, Bing, VirusTotal, and others to identify subdomains.
OSINT-based Enumeration: It gathers subdomains from publicly available data, reducing the chance of detection by the target.
Brute-force Support: While it primarily uses OSINT, Sublist3r also supports brute-forcing subdomains using a wordlist, if needed.
