Related domain discovery

If you've got an ever-growing attack surface, this is the feature for you.

Updated over 2 months ago

What can it do?

Discover related domains of existing apex domains that have been added to the portal. ie. if you have added exampletest.com, we might return exampletester.com or exampletest.co.uk.

How does it work?

When you add a target, we'll check to see for any related domains that have not yet been added to the tool (we'll then re-enqueue it for monthly 'discovery' scanning).
Should we find any related domains, we'll:

  • Raise a card in your activity feed:

  • Flag the findings count on the Discovery page > Target Recon:

  • Display the targets on the source detail page.

How can I manage them?

If you head to Discovery > Target Recon > click Domain detection (shown above) you'll be taken through to the source detail page, where you can sort by:

  • Domain (the newly discovered domain)

  • Related domain (the existing target)

  • Confidence (how confident we are the detected domain is related to your existing target).

As you can see above, some targets have already been added, which means they are now included in the target list and will be subject to scanning (pending license availability).

Other targets are yet to be added:

And one has already been excluded – though this can be undone if you want to – simply hit Undo exclude.


(To exclude a target, all you need to do is select the target(s) using the checkbox on the left and hit the red Exclude button at the top):

And finally, if you believe a related domain is missing from the list – let us know. Click Missing domain:

Add the name of the related domain you expected us to find and some details in the box (the more details the better as this will help our team improve the results over time) > hit Submit or Submit and add target:


If you hit Submit and add target, your comment will be submitted and you have the option to add the missing subdomain:


Where do I manage the *emails?

You can manage them from Settings > Email notifications


FAQs

Are related domains automatically added to the portal?

No, we don't automatically add them – we leave that up to you, the user.

Does bulk-adding override the exclusion functionality?

No, if a target has been excluded, you'd need to Undo exclusion before you could add it to the portal for scanning.


This feature is only available on Premium and Vanguard (and will only be visible to admin users).
