Installation

# stable version
pipx install bbot

# bleeding edge (dev branch)
pipx install --pip-args '\--pre' bbot

For more installation methods, including Docker, see Getting Started

Example Commands

1) Subdomain Finder

Passive API sources plus a recursive DNS brute-force with target-specific subdomain mutations.

# find subdomains of evilcorp.com
bbot -t evilcorp.com -p subdomain-enum

# passive sources only
bbot -t evilcorp.com -p subdomain-enum -rf passive

subdomain-enum.yml

description: Enumerate subdomains via APIs, brute-force

flags:
  # enable every module with the subdomain-enum flag
  - subdomain-enum

output_modules:
  # output unique subdomains to TXT file
  - subdomains

config:
  dns:
    threads: 25
    brute_threads: 1000
  # put your API keys here
  modules:
    github:
      api_key: ""
    chaos:
      api_key: ""
    securitytrails:
      api_key: ""

BBOT consistently finds 20-50% more subdomains than other tools. The bigger the domain, the bigger the difference. To learn how this is possible, see How It Works.

2) Web Spider

# crawl evilcorp.com, extracting emails and other goodies
bbot -t evilcorp.com -p spider

spider.yml

description: Recursive web spider

modules:
  - httpx

config:
  web:
    # how many links to follow in a row
    spider_distance: 2
    # don't follow links whose directory depth is higher than 4
    spider_depth: 4
    # maximum number of links to follow per page
    spider_links_per_page: 25

3) Email Gatherer

# quick email enum with free APIs + scraping
bbot -t evilcorp.com -p email-enum

# pair with subdomain enum + web spider for maximum yield
bbot -t evilcorp.com -p email-enum subdomain-enum spider

email-enum.yml

description: Enumerate email addresses from APIs, web crawling, etc.

flags:
  - email-enum

output_modules:
  - emails

4) Web Scanner

# run a light web scan against www.evilcorp.com
bbot -t www.evilcorp.com -p web-basic

# run a heavy web scan against www.evilcorp.com
bbot -t www.evilcorp.com -p web-thorough

web-basic.yml

description: Quick web scan

include:
  - iis-shortnames

flags:
  - web-basic

web-thorough.yml

description: Aggressive web scan

include:
  # include the web-basic preset
  - web-basic

flags:
  - web-thorough

5) Everything Everywhere All at Once

# everything everywhere all at once
bbot -t evilcorp.com -p kitchen-sink

# roughly equivalent to:
bbot -t evilcorp.com -p subdomain-enum cloud-enum code-enum email-enum spider web-basic paramminer dirbust-light web-screenshots

kitchen-sink.yml

description: Everything everywhere all at once

include:
  - subdomain-enum
  - cloud-enum
  - code-enum
  - email-enum
  - spider
  - web-basic
  - paramminer
  - dirbust-light
  - web-screenshots

config:
  modules:
    baddns:
      enable_references: True

How it Works

BBOT as a Python Library

Synchronous

from bbot.scanner import Scanner

if __name__ == "__main__":
    scan = Scanner("evilcorp.com", presets=["subdomain-enum"])
    for event in scan.start():
        print(event)

Asynchronous

from bbot.scanner import Scanner

async def main():
    scan = Scanner("evilcorp.com", presets=["subdomain-enum"])
    async for event in scan.async_start():
        print(event.json())

if __name__ == "__main__":
    import asyncio
    asyncio.run(main())

Feature Overview

• Support for Multiple Targets
• Web Screenshots
• Suite of Offensive Web Modules
• NLP-powered Subdomain Mutations
• Native Output to Neo4j (and more)
• Automatic dependency install with Ansible
• Search entire attack surface with custom YARA rules
• Python API + Developer Documentation

Targets

BBOT accepts an unlimited number of targets via -t. You can specify targets either directly on the command line or in files (or both!):

bbot -t evilcorp.com evilcorp.org 1.2.3.0/24 -p subdomain-enum

Targets can be any of the following:

• DNS_NAME (evilcorp.com)
• IP_ADDRESS (1.2.3.4)
• IP_RANGE (1.2.3.0/24)
• OPEN_TCP_PORT (192.168.0.1:80)
• URL (https://www.evilcorp.com)

For more information, see Targets. To learn how BBOT handles scope, see Scope.

API Keys

Similar to Amass or Subfinder, BBOT supports API keys for various third-party services such as SecurityTrails, etc.

The standard way to do this is to enter your API keys in ~/.config/bbot/bbot.yml. Note that multiple API keys are allowed:

modules:
  shodan_dns:
    api_key: 4f41243847da693a4f356c0486114bc6
  c99:
    # multiple API keys
    api_key:
      - 21a270d5f59c9b05813a72bb41707266
      - ea8f243d9885cf8ce9876a580224fd3c
      - 5bc6ed268ab6488270e496d3183a1a27
  virustotal:
    api_key: dd5f0eee2e4a99b71a939bded450b246
  securitytrails:
    api_key: d9a05c3fd9a514497713c54b4455d0b0

If you like, you can also specify them on the command line:

bbot -c modules.virustotal.api_key=dd5f0eee2e4a99b71a939bded450b246
