What is Browser-Native Subdomain Scanner?

Browser-Native Subdomain Scanner is a reconnaissance tool designed for developers, penetration testers, and security researchers to discover subdomains of a target domain. Active subdomain scanning usually requires sending lists to a server or running terminal tools. This tool brings that capability directly to the browser, querying DNS-over-HTTPS APIs to check if subdomains exist. Because it runs client-side, your target domains remain completely confidential, preventing leaks to third-party web scanners.

How it works

The scanner takes the target domain and prepends a list of common subdomains (e.g. vpn, admin, mail). It then resolves each host (e.g. vpn.example.com) by firing parallel, rate-controlled JSON fetch requests to Cloudflare or Google's DNS-over-HTTPS APIs. If the DNS query returns an A or AAAA record with IP addresses, the subdomain is marked as active. If it returns NXDOMAIN, the subdomain is inactive.

Features & Benefits

  • 100% Private: Scan targets never touch any utility servers; queries go direct to public DoH providers
  • Concurrent Scanning: Fast, throttled client-side resolution avoids browser rate limits and hangs
  • CSV/JSON Export: Save discovered subdomains along with their IP resolutions instantly
  • Offline Ready: The scanner code and default wordlist load once and run entirely on your local machine

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this scanner as fast as command line tools?

Because it is subject to browser fetch connection limits and CORS, it is designed for targeted discovery (using 50-200 common names) rather than brute-forcing millions of combinations.

Why does it use DNS-over-HTTPS instead of native socket connection?

Web browsers cannot make raw UDP/TCP DNS queries. DoH allows us to query DNS records via standard secure HTTP fetch requests.

Can I use custom wordlists?

Yes, you can edit the list of subdomains in the options section before launching the scan.
