Gotator

Gotator is a tool to generate DNS wordlists through permutations.

🛠️ Installation

If you want to make modifications locally and compile it, follow the instructions below:

> git clone https://github.com/Josue87/gotator.git
> cd gotator
> go build

If you are only interested in using the program:

> go install github.com/Josue87/gotator@latest

🐳 Docker option:

> git clone https://github.com/Josue87/gotator.git
> cd gotator
> docker build -t gotator . 
# Usage 
> docker run gotator -sub subdomains.txt  [...]

Note If you are using version 1.16 or higher and you have any errors, run the following command:

> go env -w GO111MODULE="auto"

To upgrade the version add the -u parameter to the installation command.

✨ Features

Gotator has the following features for permutation:

• Checks domain and TLD analyzing ccSLDs to avoid going out of scope (example.com, example.com.mx, etc.).
• Permute numbers up and down [-numbers ], for example:
  • Target subdomain is 10 and numbers flag is set to 3 [-numbers 3], as a result we will have between 7 and 13.
  • Target subdomain is dev1 and numbers flag is set to 3 [-numbers 3], we will see dev0, dev1, dev2, dev3, and dev4 (avoiding negative numbers).
  • Target sudomain is test10-demo2 and numbers flag is set to 1 [-numbers 1], among the results we will see test11-demo2.example.com, test9-demo2.example.com, test10-demo3.example.com or test10-demo1.example.com. (Only one number changes at a time).
• Gotator has 3 levels of depth [-depth ]:
  • If depth is set to 1 (default mode), to permute test word on example.com, we will get test.example.com.
  • If depth is set to 2, and we have to permute dev and demo on example.com, we will obtain dev.demo.example.com or demo-dev.example.com apart from demo.example.com and dev.example.com. Depth level 3 is an extension of this example.
• Using -mindup flag you can control and reduce duplicates (due to the high number of lines generated, the objective here is to reduce as much as possible the domains with almost null possibilities to exist):
  • If we have test.example.com and the next permutation will be test again, it is ignored.
  • If we have testing.example.com and test comes up, when matching test it will be joined with . and -, avoiding testtesting.example.com
  • If we have 100.example.com and it gets 90 to permute, the permutation is ignored as it already has a number permutation feature.
  • If we have test100.example.com and it gets test to permute, we remove numbers and test==test so the permutation is ignored as it already has something very similar.
• Using adv flag:
  • For the subdomains within the target, for example demo210.example.com, we get the value demo210 and add it to the permutations list. If we have test-dev.domain.com then we add to permutations test-dev, test and dev (only if they are not already on the list).
  • For permutation words, if gotator receives demo-test it adds demo-test, demo and test to the list.
  • Only in depth 1. With this option if subdomain target is tech.example.com and permutation is test we also interchange the position for the permutation "-" and "", obtaining results such as techtest.example.com and tech-test.example.com (check example 1).
• Mode to "swap" domains, i.e. if the target is dev.tech.example.com, it will be added as target tech.example.com and example.com [-md].
• Option to add default permutations list defined in gotator [-prefixes].
  • List of prefixes: 1rer, 2, 2tty, admin, api, app, bbs, blog, cdn, cloud, cuali, demo, dev, dev2, email, exchange, forum, ftp, gov, govyty, gw, host, m, mail, mail2, mx1, mysql, news, ns, ns1, owa, portal, pre, pro, prod, prueba, qa, remote, secure, server, shop, smtp, store, support, test, test, tty, vpn, vps, web, ww1, ww42, www, www2.
• Only the results are written to the standard output. Banner and messages are sent to the error output. So you can pipe the command.

🗒 Options

The flags that can be used to launch the tool:

Flag	Type	Mandatory	Description	Example
sub	string	yes	List of domains to be swapped.	-sub subdomains.txt
perm	string	no	List of permutations.	-perm permutations.txt
depth	uint	no	Configure the depth (Between 1 and 3) - Default 1.	-depth 2
numbers	uint	no	Configure the number of iterations to the numbers found in the permutations (up and down). Default 0 Skip!. This option penalizes performance, use small numbers	-numbers 10
prefixes	bool	no	Adding default gotator prefixes to permutations. If not configured perm is used by default. If perm is specified with this flag you merge the permutations.	-prefixes
md	bool	no	Extract 'previous' domains and subdomains from subdomains found in the list 'sub'.	-md
adv	bool	no	Advanced option. Generate permutations words with subdomains and words with -. And joins permutation word in the back (depth 1).	-adv
mindup	bool	no	Set this flag to minimize duplicates. (For heavy workloads, it is recommended to activate this flag).	-mindup
fast	bool	no	Don't check to root domains (Take care with your scope)	-fast
silent	bool	no	Gotator banner is not displayed.	-silent
t	uint	no	Max Go routines (Default 100). Note: Data is painted by the console, threads may increase processing time	-t 200
version	bool	no	Show Gotator version	-version

👾 Usage

gotator -sub domains.txt -perm permutations.txt -depth 2 -numbers 5 > output.txt

To filter the result and remove possible duplicates:

gotator -sub domains.txt -perm permutations.txt -depth 3 -numbers 10 -md | uniq > output2.txt

Change uniq to sort -u of the previous command if you want to sort them. (Not recommended due to time)

Note: If you are compiling locally don't forget the ./ in front of your binary!

🚀 Examples

Note: The examples may correspond to earlier versions (where -mindup and adv were not used).

We have the following lists:

In the first example we mutate on the specified subdomain

In the following example we instruct Gotator to extract possible domains from the subdomains with -md:

You can see that example.com is taken into account. Now an example with a list of permutations containing test100demo and we give it the argument -numbers 3:
