Subdomain Finder (Certificate Transparency) + Live Check
Find subdomains of any domain passively from public Certificate Transparency logs (crt.sh, with CertSpotter fallback). Input: domains. Output (JSON/CSV): one row per item with domain, subdomain, firstSeen, lastCertExpiry, issuer, resolves, ips, cname, httpStatus, pageTitle.
What it's for
- Attack-surface / asset inventory for your own domains
- Alert when a new subdomain (new product, staging site) appears
- Competitive intel: spot new product launches from new certificates
