Sublist3r vs Yersinia: Which CGI Scanner tool is Best in 2025?

Sublist3r is a powerful, open-source Python tool designed for subdomain enumeration using Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT). Integrated into Kali Linux, it assists ethical hackers, penetration testers, and bug bounty hunters in discovering subdomains associated with a target domain. By leveraging search engines like Bing, Yahoo, Google, Baidu, and Ask, as well as services such as Netcraft, VirusTotal, ThreatCrowd, DNSdumpster, and ReverseDNS, Sublist3r compiles comprehensive subdomain lists. It also integrates Subbrute for brute-force enumeration, enhancing its ability to uncover hidden subdomains.

Yersinia is an open-source, robust framework for executing layer 2 (Data Link Layer) network attacks, designed to exploit vulnerabilities in various network protocols. Integrated into Kali Linux, Yersinia empowers cybersecurity professionals, penetration testers, and network administrators to analyze and test the security of deployed networks. Named after the plague-causing bacterium Yersinia pestis, it targets protocols like STP, DHCP, CDP, and VLAN, enabling users to simulate attacks such as DHCP starvation, VLAN hopping, and spanning tree manipulation.
