This tool helps you perform DNS enumeration for a given domain and discover valid subdomains from a list provided in a file named subdomains.txt.
- DNS record enumeration for multiple types, including A, AAAA, MX, NS, TXT, and others.
- Subdomain discovery using a list from a user-provided text file.
- ASCII art and colorful CLI output for an enhanced user experience.
- Enumeration progress animation.
To run this script, you will need Python 3.x installed on your system.
It's recommended to use a virtual environment to manage the Python package dependencies and isolate them from your system's global Python environment.
To create and activate a virtual environment, follow these steps:
On macOS and Linux:
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activateOn Windows:
python -m venv venv
venv\Scripts\activateAfter activating the virtual environment, install the required Python packages using the provided requirements.txt file with the following command:
pip install -r requirements.txtThis command will automatically install all the packages listed in requirements.txt, which should contain:
dnspython==2.1.0
colorama==0.4.4
pyfiglet==0.8.post1
Run the script by passing the target domain as a command-line argument:
python3 dns_enum.py example.comMake sure you have a file named subdomains.txt in the same directory as the script, with one subdomain per line. The script will attempt to resolve each subdomain for the A record and print the valid ones to the console, as well as save them to an output file named <domain>_valid_subdomains.txt.
<domain>: The domain for which you want to perform DNS enumeration and subdomain scanning. It should be a valid domain formatted asexample.com.
The script generates two types of output:
- Console output with the DNS enumeration results and valid subdomains highlighted in green.
- A file named
<domain>_valid_subdomains.txtcontaining all valid subdomains discovered during the scan.
If you need to stop the script, use Ctrl+C. The script will handle the interrupt and exit gracefully.
