SubCat – A Fast And Efficient Subdomain Enumeration Tool

SubCat a subdomain discovery tool that discovers valid subdomains for websites by using passive online sources. It has a simple modular architecture and is optimized for speed.

SubCat is built for doing one thing only – passive subdomain enumeration, and it does that very well.

We have designed SubCat to comply with all passive sources licenses, and usage restrictions, as well as maintained a consistently passive model to make it useful to both penetration testers and bug bounty hunters alike.

Features

  • Fast and powerful resolution and wildcard elimination module
  • Curated passive sources to maximize results
  • Optimized for speed, very fast and lightweight on resources
  • STDIN/OUT support for integrating in workflows
  • Scope limitation based on given IP ranges list

Install

# Linux, Windows, MacOS
pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Post Installation

API Key is needed before querying on third-party sites, such as Shodan, SecurityTrails, Virustotal, and BinaryEdge.

  • The API key setting can be done via config.yaml.

   -silent, --silent     show only subdomains in output
   -o OUTPUT, --output OUTPUT
                        file to write output to
   
CONFIG:
   -t THREADS, --threads THREADS
                        number of concurrent threads for resolving (default 40)
