# Enumerate Hostnames via Permutation DNS Brute Force

## Description

Enumerate hostnames by checking for permutations of known hostnames. This module finds different environments, regions, and associated software. It has an effective built-in wordlist but you can also use a custom wordlist tailored to your organization’s naming conventions.

## Features

* Discovers **different environments, regions, and associated software** based on the input hostnames.
* **Built-in wordlists** with the option to **use custom ones** tailored to your target.
* A **daily validated list of resolvers** to ensure accuracy.
* Result **verification using manually curated trusted resolvers**.
* A **wildcard filter** takes care of false positives.

## Inputs

### Required

* **hostnames**: a list of hostnames

```
dashboard.example.com
shop.example.com
payments.example.com
```

## Outputs

* **subdomains**: a list of found subdomains

```
dev-dashboard.example.com
shop.us-east-1.example.com
payments-log.example.com
```

* **subdomain-details**: JSONLines records of subdomain discovery details.

```json theme={null}
{"hostname": "dev-dashboard.example.com", "domain_name": "example.com", "data_source": "dns brute force", "context": "permutation brute force"}
{"hostname": "shop.us-east-1.example.com", "domain_name": "example.com", "data_source": "dns brute force", "context": "permutation brute force"}
{"hostname": "payments-log.example.com", "domain_name": "example.com", "data_source": "dns brute force", "context": "permutation brute force"}
```

## Changelog

* v1.0.0
  * Initial release
* v1.0.1
  * Improve coverage by increasing the number of tested permutations
* v1.0.2
  * Improve wildcard filtering
