About:
dnsmap is a passive DNS network mapper used to discover subdomains by leveraging publicly accessible DNS records. It operates without sending direct probes to the target, making it stealthier than active brute-forcing tools. This makes it ideal for reconnaissance phases where avoiding detection is a priority.

Key Features:

Passive reconnaissance via public DNS data sources
Cross-platform compatibility (Linux, macOS, Windows)
Supports custom wordlists for subdomain enumeration
Outputs results in CSV or standard text formats

Use Cases:

Performing stealthy reconnaissance to map a target's attack surface
Identifying subdomains for penetration testing engagements
Gathering open-source intelligence (OSINT) on a domain

Alternatives:

sublist3r – Sublist3r aggregates results from multiple search engines and passive DNS sources, often providing faster results with wider source coverage.
amass – Amass is a more comprehensive suite that performs both passive enumeration and active brute-forcing/certificate transparency searches.
