About:
Shuffledns is a high-performance tool designed to speed up the process of subdomain enumeration. It uses massdns to perform brute-forcing and then filters out wildcard subdomains to ensure accurate results. This tool is essential for security professionals mapping out the attack surface of a target domain.
Key Features:
  • Fast subdomain resolution using massdns
  • Active wildcard detection and filtering
  • Multi-threaded for high performance
  • Integration with standard wordlists
Use Cases:
  • Penetration testing and reconnaissance phases
  • Mapping an organization's external attack surface
  • Identifying forgotten or misconfigured subdomains
Alternatives:
  • amass – Amass is more comprehensive, utilizing multiple enumeration techniques (DNS, scraping, etc.), whereas shuffledns focuses primarily on high-speed brute-forcing and resolution.
  • subfinder – Subfinder is a passive enumeration tool that sources subdomains from various online APIs, while shuffledns performs active brute-force attacks.
