Subdomain Bruteforcing (For Loop with Seclists)

The individual A records with the hostnames can also be found out with the help of a brute-force attack. To do this, we need a list of possible hostnames, which we use to send the requests in order. Such lists are provided, for example, by SecLists.

An option would be to execute a for-loop in Bash that lists these entries and sends the corresponding query to the desired DNS server.
