subquest

fast and elegant subdomain scanner built with node

Installation

To use subquest in your node scripts you have to install it and add it to your project dependencies:

npm install --save subquest

Than you can require it in your script and use it, following examples below.

After v1.5.0

After the version 1.5.0 the module doesn't use event emitters, just callbacks,

const subquest = require('subquest')
 
subquest.getSubDomains({
  host: 'google.com'
}, (err, results) => {
 
  if(err) {
    console.log('Error:', err);
    return;
  }
 
  console.log('Subdomains:', results);  
})

Before v1.5.0

Before the version 1.5.0 the module makes use of event emitters to determine when it's done.

var subquest = require('subquest');
 
subquest
  .getSubDomains({
    host: 'google.com', // required
    rateLimit:'4', // four requests at time
    dnsServer:'4.2.2.2', // custom DNS server
    dictionary: 'top_200' // dictionary file to use
  })
  .on('end', function(res){
    console.log(res); // array of subdomains.
  })

This scans google.com for the list of all subdomains using the top_200 dictionary.
