Altdns - Generates permutations, alterations and mutations of subdomains and then resolves them

Altdns is a DNS recon tool that allows for the discovery of subdomains that conform to patterns. Altdns takes in words that could be present in subdomains under a domain (such as test, dev, staging) as well as takes in a list of subdomains that you know of.
From these two lists that are provided as input to altdns, the tool then generates a massive output of "altered" or "mutated" potential subdomains that could be present. It saves this output so that it can then be used by your favourite DNS bruteforcing tool.
Alternatively, the -r flag can be passed to altdns so that once this output is generated, the tool can then resolve these subdomains (multi-threaded) and save the results to a file.
Altdns works best with large datasets. Having an initial dataset of 200 or more subdomains should churn out some valid subdomains via the alterations generated.

Installation
pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage
# ./altdns.py -i subdomains.txt -o data_output -w words.txt -r -s results_output.txt
  • subdomains.txt contains the known subdomains for an organization
  • data_output is a file that will contain the massive list of altered and permuted subdomains
  • words.txt is your list of words that you'd like to permute your current subdomains with (i.e. admin, staging, dev, qa) - one word per line
  • the -r command resolves each generated, permuted subdomain
  • the -s command tells altdns where to save the results of the resolved permuted subdomains. results_output.txt will contain the final list of permuted subdomains found that are valid and have a DNS record.
  • the -t command limits how many threads the resolver will use simultaneously
  • -d 1.2.3.4 overrides the system default DNS resolver and will use the specified IP address as the resolving server. Setting this to the authoritative DNS server of the target domain may increase resolution performance
