Summary

DNS Triage is a reconnaissance tool that finds information about an organization's infrastructure, software, and third-party services as fast as possible. The goal of DNS Triage is not to exhaustively find every technology asset that exists on the internet. The goal is to find the most commonly abused items of interest for real attackers.
