🎯 Your First Scan

Basic Domain Discovery

Discover all assets for a domain:

domainraptor discover -T example.com

This will:

• Find subdomains from multiple sources
• Enumerate DNS records
• Discover SSL certificates
• Perform WHOIS lookup

📊 Common Workflows

Workflow 1: Full Reconnaissance

Complete target assessment from discovery to reporting:

# Step 1: Discover assets
domainraptor discover -T example.com --subdomains --dns --ports --whois

# Step 2: Assess security configuration
domainraptor assess config example.com

# Step 3: Check for vulnerabilities
domainraptor assess vulns example.com

# Step 4: Generate report
domainraptor report generate example.com -f html -o example_report.html

Workflow 2: Quick Security Check

Fast security posture assessment:

domainraptor -m quick assess config example.com

Workflow 3: Deep Analysis

Thorough investigation with all sources:

domainraptor -m deep discover -T example.com --ports --recursive

Workflow 4: Continuous Monitoring

Set up automated monitoring:

# Add target to watch list
domainraptor watch add example.com --interval 24h

# View monitored targets
domainraptor watch list

# Run checks manually
domainraptor watch run

💡 Tips for Effective Scanning

1. Start with Discovery

Always begin by discovering the attack surface:

domainraptor discover -T example.com

2. Use Appropriate Scan Mode

Mode	Use Case	Speed
quick	Initial triage	Fast
standard	Regular assessments	Medium
deep	Thorough investigation	Slow
stealth	Low-profile scanning	Varies

3. Save Results

Always save results to the database for comparison:

domainraptor discover -T example.com --save  # Default

4. Generate Reports

Create professional reports for stakeholders:

domainraptor report generate example.com -f html -o report.html --remediation

5. Monitor Changes

Set up monitoring for important targets:

domainraptor watch add example.com --interval 6h
