📜 Playbook — Subdomain exploitation
- Direction — frame the requirement for Subdomain: what decision does this support, by when?
- Collection — pull the 0 mapped sources (0 free) and the native workbench (open); capture provenance and observe OPSEC.
- Processing — normalize, de-duplicate and enrich the collected data.
- Analysis — correlate against local holdings; apply ACH; assign confidence.
- Dissemination — open a case, draft a report, share via STIX/MISP.
- Feedback — set an alert rule / watchlist to monitor for change.

🎫 Subdomain
A subdomain is a label prefixed to a parent domain (e.g. mail.example.com) that delegates a distinct host, service, or environment. In investigations subdomains expose an organization's attack surface, staging and admin panels, and phishing/lookalike hosts, and they inherit or diverge from the parent's hosting to reveal infrastructure structure.
Format: Dot-separated labels under a registered eTLD+1; each label <=63 chars, LDH rule; full FQDN <=253. Wildcard (*.example.com) and punycode labels valid.
