Subdomain Hunting

When hunting down subdomains you are looking for developer or staging versions of a site, or admin login pages that are not public or easily found on the internet.

Website tools are not the best way to scan for subdomains, but you can try google and a couple others to see if anything interesting shows up.

Search google.com

  • site:tesla.com
  • site:tesla.com -www
  • site:tesla.com -www -forums inurl:dev
  • site:tesla.com -www -forums inurl:admin
