Subdomain Discovery

Search certificate transparency logs for every subdomain ever issued an SSL/TLS certificate.

Scans crt.sh certificate transparency logs. Useful for attack surface mapping and shadow IT discovery.

What this tool does

Queries certificate transparency logs via crt.sh to enumerate subdomains associated with a domain. Certificate transparency is a public record of every TLS certificate ever issued — subdomains that have had certificates issued for them will appear here even if they are no longer active.

Returns a deduplicated list of discovered subdomains, filterable and sortable, with links to inspect each one further.

Why subdomain enumeration matters

Forgotten subdomains are a frequent source of security findings. A staging environment, an old marketing microsite, or a deprecated API endpoint may still be running software that is no longer maintained or patched. Certificate transparency logs capture these even after DNS records are removed.

Subdomain takeover — where an expired CNAME points to a cloud service that can be claimed by anyone — is a real and common vulnerability. Knowing what subdomains exist is the first step to knowing which ones are at risk.
