OUTPUT:
   -o, -output string       file to write output to
   -oJ, -json               write output in JSONL(ines) format
   -oD, -output-dir string  directory to write output (-dL only)
   -cs, -collect-sources    include all sources in the output (-json only)
   -oI, -ip                 include host IP in output (-active only)

CONFIGURATION:
   -config string                flag config file (default "/Users/user/Library/Application Support/tldfinder/config.yaml")
   -pc, -provider-config string  provider config file (default "/Users/user/Library/Application Support/tldfinder/provider-config.yaml")
   -r string[]                   comma separated list of resolvers to use
   -rL, -rlist string            file containing list of resolvers to use
   -nW, -active                  display active domains only
   -proxy string                 http proxy to use with tldfinder

DEBUG:
   -silent             show only domains in output
   -version            show version of tldfinder
   -v                  show verbose output
   -nc, -no-color      disable color in output
   -ls, -list-sources  list all available sources
   -stats              report source statistics

Running tldfinder

Input for tldfinder

tldfinder requires domain or tld as input for any discovery mode.

io # TLD input
google.io # Domain input (tld will be auto extracted from domain name)

Input can be provided using -domain / -d flag, and multiple values can be provided using comma-separated input.

Example run:

$ tldfinder -d google.goog
