Monitoring

Attack surface discovery

Find hosts under your verified domains. Discovery never scans what it finds.

Attack Surface lists hosts found under your verified domains from public certificate transparency logs and a short DNS wordlist. Run discovery on demand, or schedule it daily or weekly per domain. New hosts appear for review and a digest notification tells you when there are new ones.

What you can do with a host

  • Add as asset turns it into a subdomain asset. It is not scanned until it is verified; you can also approve it to inherit the verification of its verified parent domain.
  • Dismiss hides it on later runs. Restore brings it back.

Good to know

  • Wildcard names, names outside your domain and names that resolve to private addresses are never suggested.
  • Discovery never scans or connects to the hosts it finds and does not port-scan. A discovered address is not authorized for scanning. To check an address's open ports, add it as an IP asset, verify it and accept the authorization for it.
  • Each candidate shows a confidence (high: independent sources; medium: one reliable source; low: only in history), its sources and a status: New, Changed (addresses or CNAME target differ from the last run) or No longer seen. A change is a fact to review, not a verdict.
  • Passive DNS history is shown only when the platform has such a provider connected; otherwise the card says "Not configured".
