Description: Enumerate hostnames for an IP using bing.com
This package contains a Bing.com web scraper that discovers hostnames by IP
address. Bing is the flagship Microsoft search engine formerly known as MSN
Search and Live Search.
.
It provides a feature unique to search engines - it allows searching by IP
address. Bing-ip2hosts uses this feature.
.
It can be used to discover subdomains and other related domains. It also helps
to identify websites hosted in a shared hosting environment. This technique
follows best practices during the reconnaissance phase of a penetration test
or bug bounty, to expand the target's attack surface.
.
Unlike other many other recon tools that web scrape Bing, this tool has smart
scraping behaviour to maximize the discovery of hostnames.
