Subdomain Enumeration

easy30 mintryhackme

Learn three methods of subdomain enumeration: OSINT (SSL/TLS certificate transparency logs, Google dorking), DNS brute force (dnsrecon, Sublist3r), and virtual host discovery (ffuf with Host header fuzzing). You'll discover hidden subdomains on the Acme IT Support domain that expand the attack surface for further testing.
