OWASP/Amass
Amass
Amass is a network attack surface mapper and reconnaissance framework designed to discover and map the external, internet-facing infrastructure of a target organization. It functions as an open source intelligence tool that identifies public network boundaries and locates hidden or forgotten subdomains to define an organization's total reachable footprint.
The project utilizes passive-source data aggregation from external APIs and public databases alongside active DNS brute-forcing and recursive subdomain expansion. It employs a graph-based asset mapping system to visualize the relationships between discovered domains and IP addresses, supported by a modular plugin system for integrating third-party discovery services.
The framework covers broader capabilities including network reconnaissance, public asset discovery, and the preparation of security audits by mapping all reachable entry points. These processes are managed through a concurrent worker pipeline to accelerate the scanning and resolution of large target sets.
