Knockpy is a python3 tool designed to quickly enumerate subdomains on a target domain through dictionary attack.
python3 knockpy.py domain.com
git clone https://github.com/guelfoweb/knock.git
cd knock
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
python3 knockpy.py <DOMAIN>

positional arguments:
domain target to scan
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-v, --version show program's version number and exit
--no-local local wordlist ignore
--no-remote remote wordlist ignore
--no-http http requests ignore
--no-http-code CODE [CODE ...]
http code list to ignore
-w WORDLIST wordlist file to import
-o FOLDER report folder to store json results
-t SEC timeout in seconds
-th NUM threads num
$ knockpy domain.com
- Attack type: dns + http(s) requests
- Knockpy uses internal file
wordlist.txt
. If you want to use an external dictionary you can use the-w
option and specify the path to your dictionary text file. - Knockpy also tries to get subdomains from
google
,duckduckgo
, andvirustotal
. The results will be added to the general dictionary. - It is highly recommended to use a virustotal
API_KEY
which you can get for free. The best results always come fromvirustotal
. - But, if you only want to work with local word lists, without search engines queries, you can add
--no-remote
to bypass remote recon. - If you want to ignore http(s) responses with specific code, you can use the
--no-http-code
option followed by the code list404 500 530
$ knockpy domain.com --no-http
- Attack type: dns
- DNS requests only, no http(s) requests will be made. This way the response will be much faster and you will get the IP address and the Subdomain.
- The subdomain will be cyan in color if it is an
alias
and in that case the real host name will also be provided.
$ knockpy domain.com -th 50
- default threads =
30
$ knockpy domain.com -t 5
- default timeout =
3
seconds.
$ knockpy --set apikey-virustotal=APIKEY
- Get virustotal
APIKEY
for free.
$ knockpy --report knockpy_report/domain.com_yyyy_mm_dd_hh_mm_ss.json
- Show the report in the terminal.
$ knockpy --csv knockpy_report/domain.com_yyyy_mm_dd_hh_mm_ss.json
- Save report as csv file.
$ knockpy --plot knockpy_report/domain.com_yyyy_mm_dd_hh_mm_ss.json
- Plot relationships.
$ knockpy domain.com -o /path/to/new/folder
- All scans are saved in the default folder
knockpy_report
that you can edit in theconfig.json
file. - Alternatively, you can use the
-o
option to define the new folder path.
- At each scan the report will be automatically saved in
json
format inside the file with the namedomain.com_yyyy_mm_dd_hh_mm_ss.json
. - If you don't like autosave you can disable it from the
config.json
file by changing the value to"save": false
. - To read the report in a human format you can do as described in Show report.
