Subzy is a Go-based command-line tool that checks subdomains for takeover vulnerabilities by matching HTTP response fingerprints from the can-i-take-over-xyz project. It accepts single targets or lists of subdomains and reports which ones are vulnerable to takeover.

Use cases

  • check if a subdomain is vulnerable to takeover
  • scan a list of subdomains for dangling DNS entries
  • find exploitable subdomains during a bug bounty
  • verify takeover risk after decommissioning cloud services
  • audit attack surface for unclaimed third-party integrations

When to choose

  • you need a fast, single-purpose subdomain takeover checker
  • you want fingerprint-based detection from can-i-take-over-xyz
  • you work in Go and want a simple go install workflow

When to avoid

  • you need full DNS enumeration or subdomain discovery (use amass or subfinder first)
  • you need a full vulnerability scanner rather than a takeover-specific check
  • you want a GUI or managed reporting platform
