### dns-brute2

A fork of the `dns-brute` script included with nmap which attempts to enumerate hostnames by brute force guessing common subdomains. This version allows a list of resolvers to be provided so that each thread can query a separate DNS server and avoid potential rate limits.

All additional options:

- `dns-brute.maxhosts`: Limit the number of hosts to try. Default list is sorted by frequency so common names are tried first.
- `dns-brute.resolverlist`: The filename of a list of dns resolvers to try.
- `dns-brute.checkresolvers`: Perform a check to ensure each resolver is working before using it (takes more time)
- `dns-brute.maxresolvers`: Limit the number of resolvers to use from the provided list. Number of supplied hosts times the number of threads is the most efficient value.
