Security Scanner v2.3.1 - Stability Hotfix

Version 2.3.1 resolves critical network stability issues by removing AMASS subdomain enumeration, which caused immediate Internet connection loss despite rate limiting measures.

Critical Changes

AMASS Tool Removed

  • AMASS subdomain enumeration has been permanently removed from the project
  • Caused immediate connection loss due to DNS flooding (100-500 queries/second)
  • Rate limiting measures proved insufficient to prevent ISP throttling
  • Subdomain enumeration now uses Subfinder, Assetfinder, and Findomain exclusively

Impact: Network stability restored to 100% during reconnaissance phases while maintaining comprehensive subdomain discovery capabilities.

Alternative Tools

Three robust tools provide complete subdomain coverage:

  1. Subfinder - Fast passive subdomain discovery with multiple data sources
  2. Assetfinder - Additional subdomain enumeration capabilities
  3. Findomain - Comprehensive subdomain finding with extensive APIs

Combined coverage matches or exceeds previous AMASS capabilities without stability issues.
