- Automates recursive internet scanning for reconnaissance, bug bounty hunting, and attack surface management using multiple modules and presets.
- Delivers deeper and broader subdomain enumeration and data gathering by combining passive APIs, recursive DNS brute-forcing, and NLP-powered mutations.
- Use for comprehensive subdomain enumeration to discover hidden assets and expand attack surface visibility.
- Use for automated web crawling and data extraction to gather emails, URLs, and other intelligence from target websites.
- Use for integrating scanning results into graph databases like Neo4j or messaging platforms like Discord for collaborative threat intelligence.

Upgrading from 2.x? BBOT 3.0 contains breaking changes to the CLI, presets, modules, events, and Python API. See the 2.x → 3.0 Migration Guide (source) before upgrading.
Speed tip: BBOT's DNS resolver (blastdns) spins up multiple threads per resolver in
/etc/resolv.conf. Adding more unfiltered resolvers dramatically speeds up scans. See the sample resolv.conf and Tips and Tricks for details.
