domain-intel

Investigate subdomains, SSL certificates, domain registration details, and DNS records with a Python helper. Run checks across multiple domains, estimate registration availability, and receive structured JSON results without additional packages or API keys.

OriginalShow the original description

Passive recon of subdomains, SSL certs, WHOIS, and DNS.

See how to install

Good for

  • Finding subdomains in certificate logs
  • Checking SSL certificate expiry
  • Inspecting domain registration and DNS records
  • Comparing infrastructure details across multiple domains
  • Estimating whether a domain is available to register

Domain Intelligence — Passive OSINT

Passive domain reconnaissance using only Python stdlib. Zero dependencies. Zero API keys. Works on Linux, macOS, and Windows.

Helper script

This skill includes scripts/domain_intel.py — a complete CLI tool for all domain intelligence operations.

# Subdomain discovery via Certificate Transparency logs
python SKILL_DIR/scripts/domain_intel.py subdomains example.com

# SSL certificate inspection (expiry, cipher, SANs, issuer)
python SKILL_DIR/scripts/domain_intel.py ssl example.com

# WHOIS lookup (registrar, dates, name servers — 100+ TLDs)
python SKILL_DIR/scripts/domain_intel.py whois example.com

# DNS records (A, AAAA, MX, NS, TXT, CNAME)
python SKILL_DIR/scripts/domain_intel.py dns example.com

# Domain availability check (passive: DNS + WHOIS + SSL signals)
python SKILL_DIR/scripts/domain_intel.py available coolstartup.io

# Bulk analysis — multiple domains, multiple checks in parallel
python SKILL_DIR/scripts/domain_intel.py bulk example.com github.com google.com
python SKILL_DIR/scripts/domain_intel.py bulk example.com github.com --checks ssl,dns

SKILL_DIR is the directory containing this SKILL.md file. All output is structured JSON.

Available commands

CommandWhat it doesData source
subdomainsFind subdomains from certificate logscrt.sh (HTTPS)
sslInspect TLS certificate detailsDirect TCP:443 to target
whoisRegistration info, registrar, datesWHOIS servers (TCP:43)
dnsA, AAAA, MX, NS, TXT, CNAME recordsSystem DNS + Google DoH
availableCheck if domain is registeredDNS + WHOIS + SSL signals
bulkRun multiple checks on multiple domainsAll of the above

When to use this vs built-in tools

  • Use this skill for infrastructure questions: subdomains, SSL certs, WHOIS, DNS records, availability
  • Use web_search for general research about what a domain/company does
  • Use web_extract to get the actual content of a webpage
  • Use terminal with curl -I for a simple "is this URL reachable" check
TaskBetter toolWhy
"What does example.com do?"web_extractGets page content, not DNS/WHOIS data
"Find info about a company"web_searchGeneral research, not domain-specific
"Is this website safe?"web_searchReputation checks need web context
"Check if a URL is reachable"terminal with curl -ISimple HTTP check
"Find subdomains of X"This skillOnly passive source for this
"When does the SSL cert expire?"This skillBuilt-in tools can't inspect TLS
"Who registered this domain?"This skillWHOIS data not in web search
"Is coolstartup.io available?"This skillPassive availability via DNS+WHOIS+SSL

Platform compatibility

Pure Python stdlib (socket, ssl, urllib, json, concurrent.futures). Works identically on Linux, macOS, and Windows with no dependencies.

  • crt.sh queries use HTTPS (port 443) — works behind most firewalls
  • WHOIS queries use TCP port 43 — may be blocked on restrictive networks
  • DNS queries use Google DoH (HTTPS) for MX/NS/TXT — firewall-friendly
  • SSL checks connect to the target on port 443 — the only "active" operation

Data sources

All queries are passive — no port scanning, no vulnerability testing:

  • crt.sh — Certificate Transparency logs (subdomain discovery, HTTPS only)
  • WHOIS servers — Direct TCP to 100+ authoritative TLD registrars
  • Google DNS-over-HTTPS — MX, NS, TXT, CNAME resolution (firewall-friendly)
  • System DNS — A/AAAA record resolution
  • SSL check is the only "active" operation (TCP connection to target:443)

Notes

  • WHOIS queries use TCP port 43 — may be blocked on restrictive networks
  • Some WHOIS servers redact registrant info (GDPR) — mention this to the user
  • crt.sh can be slow for very popular domains (thousands of certs) — set reasonable expectations
  • The availability check is heuristic-based (3 passive signals) — not authoritative like a registrar API
