# pSSL - Passive subdomain discovery over SSL
## Disclaimer
- pSSL is a passive asset discovery scanner. This means it does not interact with the target domain or its hosts while performing a scan.
- This is done by downloading the certificate transparancy logs of your target and resolving CNAME records through public services.
- If you decide to interact with a host following a scan, it is **your responsibility** to verify you have the proper jurisdiction.
**I am not responsible for any legal or criminal proceedings filed against you for using this tool.**
## Overview
pSSL is a tool I wrote in PowerShell to enumerate certificate transparency logs using DoH (DNS over HTTPS).
This provides an unique list of hostnames and addresses for a glimpse of the network behind a target domain. Identify internal hostnames to maximize asset discovery and validate information flow.
## Getting Started
pSSL is written for Windows and has a few dependencies from [GnuWin32](https://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/).
Luckily, I wrote a tool for installing everything you need. You can run these scripts [from source](https://github.com/ndr-repo/gnuwin32_Scan-Download/), or use the [compiled executable binary](https://github.com/ndr-repo/gnuwin32_Scan-Download/releases/tag/v1.0.0).
If you would like to download the dependencies ad-hoc, you'll need to install gawk from [here](https://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/gawk.htm) and grep from [here](https://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/grep.htm).
**Quickstart Steps**:
1. Download and run my compiled installer for grep, sed, & awk dependancies
2. Verify the tools are added to your [environment variables](https://www.howtogeek.com/787217/how-to-edit-environment-variables-on-windows-10-or-11/)
3. Clone the pSSL repository
4. Run pSSL. If you are having issues accessing the dependencies from your environment vars, verify they are set and reboot your machine.
