About:
Scilla is a versatile command-line tool designed for comprehensive network reconnaissance and enumeration. It performs DNS lookups, subdomain discovery, port scanning, and directory brute-forcing to map out target infrastructure. The tool consolidates multiple enumeration techniques into a single utility, streamlining the initial phases of security assessments and infrastructure discovery.
Key Features:
  • Multi-protocol DNS enumeration and resolution
  • Subdomain discovery with wordlist support
  • Port scanning for common and custom port ranges
  • Directory and file path brute-forcing
  • Colorized output and progress indicators
Use Cases:
  • Penetration testing reconnaissance phase
  • Asset discovery and inventory management
  • Security auditing of external attack surface
  • Red team infrastructure mapping
Alternatives:
  • amass – amass focuses on passive DNS enumeration and OSINT, while Scilla provides active scanning with integrated port and directory scanning
  • gobuster – gobuster specializes in directory/file brute-forcing, while Scilla offers a broader suite of enumeration tools in one package
  • nmap – nmap is a comprehensive network scanner, while Scilla provides a more streamlined workflow for specific enumeration tasks
