Domain structure

When we map your attack surface, the scan results include the domains and subdomains associated with your organization. The Domain table and Domain graph on the Attack surface page include data about domain relationships and their connections.

• Depth is the number of subdomains in a domain name plus the root domain. For example, shop.abc.com has a depth of two since there is one subdomain shop. for the root abc.com. By default, the table and graph include all the domains and subdomains in your networks.

  info

  If the default number of domains and subdomains exceeds 20,000, the graph doesn't show data until you use the filters in the table to narrow the results.

  To reduce the results, select Filters, Depth, and then use the operator and value fields to show less. For example, if you decrease the depth from four to one, you will only see results for root domains such as example.com and no longer see subdomains such as this.is.my.example.com.

• A descendant is a domain that is a child, grandchild, great-grandchild, etc., of a root domain or subdomain. For example, if the root abc.com has two subdomain children, shop.abc.com and blog.abc.com, and one grandchild subdomain cart.shop.abc.com, it has three descendants and shop.abc.com has one descendant.

  To view the number of descendants associated with a domain, select Columns and include the Descendant count column.
