assetfinder uses a variety of sources including those in the infosec space and social networks which can give relevant info:

• crt.sh
• certspotter
• hackertarget
• threatcrowd
• wayback machine
• dns.bufferover.run
• facebook – Needs FB_APP_ID and FB_APP_SECRET environment variables set (https://developers.facebook.com/) and you need to be careful with your app’s rate limits
• virustotal – Needs VT_API_KEY environment variable set (https://developers.virustotal.com/reference)
• findsubdomains – Needs SPYSE_API_TOKEN environment variable set (the free version always gives the first response page, and you also get “25 unlimited requests”) — (https://spyse.com/apidocs)
