The enumeration was unable to build the pool of resolvers
why am got that error?
am install amass on snap package..

how i can fixit?

[caffix]

That error indicates that the DNS resolvers being used are not reachable from your network environment. Please try providing DNS resolvers that you know will be reachable and allow unfiltered use via the '-r' and/or '-rf' flags

[kcnewb1e]

i was trying that solution , but i got other error like this:

amass enum -d -rf xxxx.com
Configuration error: No root domain names were provided

[caffix]

Each DNS resolver is identified as an IP address to the nameserver and the '-d' and/or '-df' flags are still required with argument(s)

[kcnewb1e]

what the argument i needed?
in all tutorial they use
amass enum -d xxxx.com
and its work...?

[caffix]

Please read the usage information: amass enum -help

Proper use of the flags you're interested in look like this: amass enum -r 8.8.8.8 -d example.com

[kcnewb1e]

still not work

Join the Amass Discord server and we can help you troubleshoot this.

You need to try using other DNS resolvers that your network environment will allow. Check what resolver your host OS is using by default and assign that IP address using the '-r' flag

Yeah I got the same problem, everything I tried and it useless..

[kcnewb1e]

Yaa me too

[shabbadont]

Why closed if not resolved? I have the same problem

[caffix]

@shabbadont It isn't a problem with the tool. It means your network is preventing Amass from reaching the various DNS resolvers used by default. You can change your infrastructure, execute the tool from another environment, or specify preferred resolvers using the appropriate flags. See the -r and -rf flags

[asolab]

@caffix I downloaded amass zip file got the same problem too, any solution yet?

[caffix]

@asolab Unfortunately, Amass does not know which DNS resolvers you can reach from your network. The user much provide the correct settings or run the tool from a more flexible location

[asolab]

@caffix can you please specify the flexible location?

[caffix]

Some users execute Amass within a cloud environment

[asolab]

I tried installing through snap but keep having issues with "snapd" in Ubuntu on window 10, that''s why I opted for zip file

[caffix]

Using Docker is the easiest and most reliable option

[asolab]

I will try it now, Thanks Boss

[caffix]

No problem. Please bring additional questions to the Amass Discord server

Use cloudflare warp or some other VPN it'll work with that.

[KaustubhGiri]

Just try with sudo command it work for me.
sudo amass enum -d google.com

Thanks it works but its loading the results very slow. Anything we can do to speed it up?

The enumeration was unable to build the pool of resolvers

I was facing this error I entered some command
$cd /
$sudo apt-get install amass
After these commands
This command "amass enum -d google.com" was working fine for me.

[gofish543]

This is an issue regarding the pool.ClientSubnetCheck() within local.go

Commenting this out has the tool run perfectly. What does this function call do?

[galactghost]

Can you tell me where is local.go in kali linux?
