Task Task Description Requirements
Brute-force Subdomain Enumeration Uses a brute-force approach to guess potential subdomains of target domains Required
HTTP(s) Probe Probe HTTP(s) service availability and status. Note that this is redundant if you are also using the Service Discovery task. It is offered as a lightweight alternative for situations where port scanning would not be appropriate Required
Last Registrant Retrieval Retrieves the last (most recent) registrant of a domain Required
DNS Resolution Resolves the DNS records of a domain Required
Subdomain discovery Discovers subdomains of target domains by querying publicly available resources like search engines and social media Required
Analyze TLS configuration Analyzes and grades the TLS configuration of web applications running on a domain Optional
HTTP Defensive Header Grading Grade defensive headers for http and https services. Defensive headers include Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, X-XSS-Protection, and Referrer-Policy Optional
Domain Registration Exploration Finds domains that are registered or have been registered in the past by the same entity that registered a target domain Optional
Certificate Retrieval Retrieves certificates for domains and reports their validity and expiration dates Optional
Service Discovery Discover open ports and running services on discovered domains Optional
Typosquatting and Similar Domain Discovery Reports domains that are lexicographically similar to target domains. This can help identify typosquatting and domains using other TLDs with the same name. Note that this task can take a long time to complete and may generate a lot of noise Optional
Web Content Analyzer Analyze the content of a web page, extracting domains from links, and metadata Optional
