Advanced Cybersecurity Tool for Automated Subdomain Enumeration and IP Mapping

HostHunter is designed to help cybersecurity professionals, penetration testers, and bug bounty hunters quickly discover and profile hostnames in a target environment. This tool automates the gathering of subdomain data, IP resolution, and organization-based IP mapping by leveraging both passive and active scanning techniques.

What HostHunter Does

HostHunter searches for all the different subdomains linked to a main website (like finding blog.company.com or shop.company.com under company.com). Then, it connects these subdomains to their IP addresses, which are unique “addresses” on the internet. It helps cybersecurity professionals build a full picture of where a company’s online presence exists, even if it’s spread across many locations and servers.

Why It’s Important

  1. Quickly Find Potential Weak Points: Every website and service a company runs could have vulnerabilities. HostHunter helps experts find all these subdomains, making it faster to spot weak points.

  2. Saves Time and Effort: Manually searching for subdomains and matching them to IP addresses is time-consuming. HostHunter automates this, saving hours of work and allowing professionals to focus on analyzing the data.

  3. Aids Penetration Testing and Bug Bounty Programs: Companies often run programs to let ethical hackers find weaknesses. With HostHunter, these hackers can map out a company’s digital landscape, so they don’t miss any hidden assets that might be vulnerable.

  4. Useful for Network Audits: Large organizations can have dozens of websites and servers. HostHunter helps network auditors find all the connected subdomains and servers, ensuring there’s a complete security audit.

Installation Instructions

Scan with Output to CSV: 
				
					python3 hosthunter.py -d example.com -o results.csv

How It’s Used

  • Automated Scanning: Once installed, HostHunter can scan a primary domain (like company.com) and find all related subdomains automatically.
  • IP and Organization Mapping: It can match these subdomains to IP addresses and even group them by organization, making it easier to see what’s hosted where.
  • Exporting for Analysis: Results can be saved in different formats, like CSV, for easy sharing and reporting.

 

HostHunter v2.0 makes cybersecurity work more efficient, comprehensive, and easier, which is why it’s become a valuable tool in the industry.
