Description: Subdomain discovery through alterations and permutations
This package contains a DNS recon tool that allows for the discovery of
subdomains that conform to patterns. Altdns takes in words that could be
present in subdomains under a domain (such as test, dev, staging) as well
as takes in a list of subdomains that you know of.
.
From these two lists that are provided as input to altdns, the tool then
generates a massive output of "altered" or "mutated" potential subdomains
that could be present. It saves this output so that it can then be used by
your favourite DNS bruteforcing tool.
