Additional Features and Functions

1. Saving

Unfortunately, there is no inbuilt function available for storing the results of the Fierce scan on the target at your disk. Although no saving function is available, so there is no feature to save the output in various formats. But you can redirect the output of the scan into any text file with some Linux skills and terminal commands.

2. Range Scan

One of the amazing functions or features of the Fierce tool is the Range scan. You can scan the range of IP address with a single click. –the range is the option that is mandatory while performing a range scan. You need to specify the IP address; like ( 192.168.28.4/24).

3. Dictionary file

A brute-forcing attack or method approach is used for enumeration or detection of subdomains associated with the target domain. The inbuilt wordlist file is activated when the installation of the Fierce tool is done on the system. But Fierce tool allows users to use custom subdomains wordlists with a massive number of possible subdomains words. –subdomain-file is the option for using the custom wordlists for brute-forcing.

Understanding the network structure of the organization is very important. So to locate targets both inside and outside a corporate network there is a tool designed in the Python Language known as Fierce. This tool is different from other tools as its main objective is to locate non-contiguous IP spaces and hostnames against specified domains or subdomains. The Fierce tool doesn’t scan the total internet for our results but the results which it finds are really helpful in the process. This tool is open-source and free to use. The Fierce tool is very easier to use due to its tags of flags features.
