Installation

To use subquest in your node scripts you have to install it and add it to your project dependencies:

npm install --save subquest

Than you can require it in your script and use it, following examples below.

After v1.5.0

After the version 1.5.0 the module doesn't use event emitters, just callbacks,

const subquest = require('subquest')

subquest.getSubDomains({
  host: 'google.com'
}, (err, results) => {

  if(err) {
    console.log('Error:', err);
    return;
  }

  console.log('Subdomains:', results);  
})

Before v1.5.0

Before the version 1.5.0 the module makes use of event emitters to determine when it's done.

var subquest = require('subquest');

subquest
  .getSubDomains({
    host: 'google.com', // required
    rateLimit:'4', // four requests at time
    dnsServer:'4.2.2.2', // custom DNS server
    dictionary: 'top_200' // dictionary file to use
  })
  .on('end', function(res){
    console.log(res); // array of subdomains.
  })

This scans google.com for the list of all subdomains using the top_200 dictionary.

Methods

isValidDnsServer(server, [timeout], callback)

Test if a given address is valid DNS server

getResolvers([domain], callback)

Get the list of all the resolvers (DNS Servers) used in the scan, both default and custom

getDictionaryNames()

Get the list of the dictionary files used in the scan

getSubDomains(options, callback)

Run the scan against the domain to enumerate all subdomains

Looking for the cli version?

You can use subquest as a command line tool by cloning the official repository or using npm:
