Short answer

How can I use my AI to map an IP's infrastructure?

Your agent uses SecurityTrails to pull domain lists from specific IPs and runs DSL queries to find tech stacks. You get a clear view of an organization's digital footprint. The breakdown below shows how this works.

The reconnaissance results.

Where your data lands.

Your agent turns raw queries into actionable intelligence.

DOMAIN MAP

Full IP footprint

The AI finds every domain hosted on a specific IP. You get a clean list of targets for your investigation.

TECH STACK

Identify software used

Your agent uses DSL queries to find specific frameworks or services running on the target. This identifies the underlying technology stack.

QUERY LOG

Refined search queries

The AI can help you build or fix complex DSL queries. This lets you narrow down your search for specific assets.

HUMAN REVIEW

Manual validation

The AI provides the raw data, but you decide which domains or technologies are actually relevant to your audit.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

The AI acts as the bridge between your natural language and the SecurityTrails database.

  1. Map IP assets

    Your agent takes an IP address and finds all associated domains.

    get_domains_by_ip

  2. Execute deep searches

    The AI uses domain-specific language to hunt for granular infrastructure details.

    search_dsl

  3. Filter results

    It parses the returned data to isolate the specific tech stacks you need.

    search_dsl

  4. Summarize findings

    The agent organizes the domain and tech data into a readable format for you.

    get_domains_by_ipsearch_dsl

    No. The AI uses the SecurityTrails API to retrieve existing records. It does not run active probes or scans against live targets.

  • 03

    Can I use this to find subdomains?

    Yes, you can use the IP lookup or DSL queries to find associated domain records.

  • 04

    Will the AI delete any of my data?

    No. The tools are strictly for data retrieval.

  • 05

    Can the AI write DSL queries for me?
