CTFR

Do you miss AXFR technique? This tool allows to get the subdomains from a HTTPS website in a few seconds.
How it works? CTFR does not use neither dictionary attack nor brute-force, it just abuses of Certificate Transparency logs.
For more information about CT logs, check www.certificate-transparency.org and crt.sh.

With Docker

I think it's a little bit crazy to use Docker for running such a little python script, but if you want to do it anyway, you can use this Docker image.

The instructions are there.
