Identify subdomains with dangling DNS records (CNAME pointing to unclaimed cloud resources) and claim them to serve attacker content.
# Passive enumeration
subfinder -d TARGET.com -silent | tee subdomains.txt
# Certificate transparency
curl -s "https://crt.sh/?q=%25.TARGET.com&output=json" | jq -r '.[].name_value' | sort -u >> subdomains.txt
# DNS brute force
puredns bruteforce wordlist.txt TARGET.com -r resolvers.txt >> subdomains.txt
# Check all subdomains for takeover

Checks 20 cloud services:
# Check CNAME records
dig +short CNAME subdomain.TARGET.com
# Verify the pointed service is unclaimed
curl -s https://subdomain.TARGET.com
# Look for: "There isn't a GitHub Pages site here"
# "No such app" (Heroku)
# "NoSuchBucket" (S3)
# Check related cloud buckets

After confirming a dangling CNAME:

|---|---|
| Subdomain takeover — attacker controls content | High (P2) |
| S3 bucket public write access | Critical (P1) |
| S3 bucket listing enabled | High (P2) |
| Dangling CNAME (service unreachable) | Medium (P3) |
| Cloud storage public read | Medium (P3) |
