Amass
OWASP Attack Surface Mapper — combines passive OSINT with active DNS enumeration.
Quick Start
# Passive enumeration
amass enum -passive -d example.com
# Active enumeration (DNS brute-force + passive)
amass enum -active -d example.com
# Save results to output directory
amass enum -d example.com -o subs.txt -dir amass_out/
Sub-commands
| Command | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| enum | Subdomain enumeration (main workflow) |
| intel | Gather org/ASN/CIDR intelligence |
| viz | Generate graph visualizations |
| track | Track changes over time |
| db | Manage the Amass graph database |
Enum Flags
| Flag | Description |
|------|-------------|
| -d <domain> | Target domain |
| -dL <file> | Domain list file |
| -passive | Passive only (no DNS probing) |
| -active | Active mode (DNS + cert grabbing) |
| -brute | DNS brute-force with wordlist |
| -w <wordlist> | Custom wordlist for brute-force |
| -r <resolvers> | Custom DNS resolvers file |
| -o <file> | Output file |
| -dir <path> | Output directory for all files |
| -config <file> | Config file (API keys, settings) |
| -timeout <mins> | Enum timeout in minutes |
Config File (API Keys)
Create ~/.config/amass/config.yaml:
scope:
domains:
- example.com
data_sources:
Shodan:
- apikey: YOUR_KEY
VirusTotal:
- apikey: YOUR_KEY
Censys:
- apikey: YOUR_ID
secret: YOUR_SECRET
Common Workflows
# Passive recon only
amass enum -passive -d example.com -o passive_subs.txt
# Full active enum with brute-force
amass enum -active -brute -w /usr/share/wordlists/subdomains.txt -d example.com
# Org intelligence (find related ASNs/CIDRs)
amass intel -org "Target Corp" -max-dns-queries 2500
# Multiple domains
amass enum -passive -dL domains.txt -o all_subs.txt
# Visualization after enum
amass viz -d3 -dir amass_out/ -d example.com
