Passive API sources plus a recursive DNS brute-force with target-specific subdomain mutations.
# find subdomains of evilcorp.com
bbot -t evilcorp.com -p subdomain-enum
# passive sources only
bbot -t evilcorp.com -p subdomain-enum -rf passivesubdomain-enum.yml

flags:

BBOT consistently finds 20-50% more subdomains than other tools. The bigger the domain, the bigger the difference. To learn how this is possible, see How It Works.

BBOT accepts an unlimited number of targets via -t. You can specify targets either directly on the command line or in files (or both!):
bbot -t evilcorp.com evilcorp.org 1.2.3.0/24 -p subdomain-enumTargets can be any of the following:
DNS_NAME(evilcorp.com)IP_ADDRESS(1.2.3.4)IP_RANGE(1.2.3.0/24)OPEN_TCP_PORT(192.168.0.1:80)URL(https://www.evilcorp.com)
For more information, see Targets. To learn how BBOT handles scope, see Scope.
Similar to Amass or Subfinder, BBOT supports API keys for various third-party services such as SecurityTrails, etc.
The standard way to do this is to enter your API keys in ~/.config/bbot/bbot.yml. Note that multiple API keys are allowed:
modules:
shodan_dns:
api_key: 4f41243847da693a4f356c0486114bc6
