SYNOPSIS

amass track [-d domain] [-since date] [-last n] [options]

DESCRIPTION

amass track compares results from different enumeration runs to identify changes in an organization's external attack surface. It detects new subdomains, removed assets, and infrastructure changes.
This is useful for continuous monitoring of an organization's digital footprint, alerting security teams to potential shadow IT or unauthorized changes.

PARAMETERS

-d domain

Domain to track
-since date
Compare against enumerations since date
-last n
Compare against the last n enumerations
-history
Show all historical changes
-o file
Output file
-dir path
Database directory

CONFIGURATION

~/.config/amass/config.ini

Amass configuration file defining data sources, API keys, and scope settings.

CAVEATS

Requires multiple enumeration runs stored in database. Detection quality depends on consistency of enumeration settings. Large organizations may have frequent legitimate changes.

HISTORY

amass track was introduced to support continuous monitoring use cases, allowing security teams to detect attack surface changes over time.
