OWASP Amass
In-depth attack surface mapping and subdomain discovery. Combines passive sources with optional DNS brute-forcing, permutations and ASN or netblock expansion.
field note

opsec warning
This tool is active: it interacts directly with the target's infrastructure or may otherwise reveal your interest to the target. Use a research environment and weigh the risk before running it.
