What is Autodiscovery?

Autodiscovery is a tool for identifying subdomains belonging to a domain. For a while now, we have used this as an internal tool in order to help our customers map up all of their publicly available subdomains. By doing this, we’ve helped organisations identify legacy applications that need to be deprecated and also supported their process of setting up a comprehensive scope for their Detectify tests.

After seeing how much value this service provided for us internally as well as for our customers, we’ve decided to give everyone access to it!

Note: To leverage the new Autodiscovery feature we strongly encourage you to always add a top domain without any subdomains (i.e. example.com).

When you’ve added your asset, you’ll see them listed under “Assets”:

To create a new application scan profile from the auto-discovered subdomains, simply click “+ Scan profile” to the right.
