Subdomain Monitoring

An inventory of your subdomains — and the ones someone else could take over.

The subdomain monitor finds every hostname under your domain that ever had a certificate, checks each one in DNS and compares with the previous run.

Subdomain monitor dashboard: subdomains found in CT logs with their DNS status, trend and takeover risk

What it detects

  • New subdomains you didn't know about
  • Dangling CNAMEs — names pointing at something that no longer exists, the classic takeover
  • Subdomains that no longer exist in DNS

How you're alerted

  • “New Subdomain Detected” and “Dangling Subdomain CNAME Detected” (critical) fire on their own.

Notifications go to any of 8 channels — see notifications.
