Tool Overview :: subfinder
In our journey through DNS discovery, we’ve used active tools like dnsrecon and dnsenum that directly “touch” a target’s infrastructure. While effective, active probing can be noisy. To stay under the radar while gathering a massive footprint, we turn to subfinder. As of 2026, subfinder remains the gold standard for passive subdomain discovery. Developed by the Read More …
Beyond nslookup with .NET Sockets
This article introduces a professional-grade PowerShell script that identifies Domain Controllers using native .NET sockets, bypassing the overhead of standard administrative cmdlets. Most internal reconnaissance starts with finding the Domain Controllers. While a simple nslookup -q=srv _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.domain.local works, it has three major flaws: Hard-coding: It assumes you already know the domain name. Parsing: It returns Read More …
