Notes on fierce.pl DNS enumeration tool written by RSNAKE
If you are running KALI LINUX: you will be missing the default wordlist aka hosts.txt
you can pull down the host list from http://ha.ckers.org/fierce/hosts.txt and if you are lazy just put it in /user/bin/hosts.txt
go to URL http://ha.ckers.org/fierce/hosts.txt
CTRL-A then CTRL-C to copy all
From terminal
ie. vi /usr/bin/hosts.txt
click i
Right click
ESC wq enter
Now... if you want to traverse the subnet more that the default 5 ip addresses up or down, you will need to make a simple correction to the code.
vi /usr/bin/fierce
/verse <
enter
arrow over until you are on top of < then click the letter r and then >
Esc:wq
enter
now -traverse should work correctly.
