OWASP Amass Project
In-depth DNS Enumeration and Network Mapping written in Go!

The OWASP Amass project was originally created when the project lead was showing organizations what they look like on the Internet, and he noticed that the tools available were returning incomplete results relative to what could be discovered manually. With the identification of this gap in capabilities for security experts, the Amass project was born.

Description
The OWASP Amass project is focused on DNS enumeration and network infrastructure mapping techniques. These techniques include: obtaining subdomain names by scraping web pages, accessing web APIs, querying public databases, recursive brute forcing, crawling web archives, permuting/altering DNS names, reverse DNS sweeping, and querying ASNs and netblocks associated with IP addresses. The information collected during an enumeration is used to build a graph database that maps an organization's presence on the Internet.

When the enumeration is complete, an Amass tool is capable of converting the results into several different formats accepted by popular network graph visualization engines. This aids analysts and infosec experts attempting to quickly identify network layout and external networks being utilized by the target organization.

The software is implemented in the Go programming language, and is portable across popular operating systems such as Windows, Linux, MacOS, FreeBSD, etc. The command-line tools can be obtained via several mechanisms described on the installation page, such as through a Go development environment, the release binaries, the Snap package manager for Linux systems and various packages maintained by others.

How can I participate in the project?
All you have to do is make the Project Leader aware of your available time to contribute to the project. It is also important to let the leader know how you would like to contribute and pitch in to help the project meet its goals and milestones. There are many different ways you can contribute to an OWASP Project, but communication with the leader is key.

If I am not a programmer can I participate in the project?
Yes, you can certainly participate in the project if you are not a programmer. The project needs different skills and expertise at different times during its development. Currently, we are looking for researchers, programmers, writers, and graphic designers. See the Road Map and Getting Involved tab for more details.

Roadmap
As of July, 2018, the highest priorities for the next 12 months are:
 * Feature enhancement: Allow Amass to connect to proxies
 * Feature enhancement: Inform users of what Amass will do once an enumeration is executed
 * Feature enhancement: Add additional constraints to the enumeration process
 * Continue to update data sources that provide DNS names
 * Implement additional data handlers that save information gathered into various data stores
 * Implement documentation regarding Amass architecture and the enumeration process
 * Develop slides and videos to serve as demonstration material

Getting Involved
There are many ways you can support the OWASP Amass project. Below are some of the roles that definitely need additional support:

Coding
We could implement some of the later items on the roadmap sooner if some Go network programmers wanted to join the project.

Testing
Amass leverages concurrency and produces quite a bit of network traffic, which can always use additional testing. Anyone interested in stressing the software and helping to improve its quality is welcome.

Writing
The project could currently use technical writers to join the team in order to capture how the software works. =Project About=
