The situation in Palestine remains critical, with countless innocent lives affected by ongoing violence and oppression. As global citizens, it's our responsibility to speak up, spread awareness, and support justice and human rights.

Let us pray (make dua) for the people of Palestine and commit ourselves to advocating for peace and dignity for all.

AcqHunt is a powerful command-line reconnaissance tool for discovering domains and related assets tied to organizations, IP ranges, ASN numbers, and more. Built for cybersecurity professionals, researchers, and digital investigators, AcqHunt aggregates intelligence from multiple sources to provide deep acquisition visibility.

• Domain Lookup: -d – Search by domain name.
• Organization Lookup: -org – Discover domains associated with a specific organization.
• IP Range Scan: -ip – Query CIDR-based IP ranges for domain associations.
• ASN Scan: -a – Retrieve domains tied to a specific Autonomous System Number.

• -c – Pull certificate data from crt.sh (by domain).
• -oc – Pull organization-wide certificate data from crt.sh.
• -i – Query website.informer.com for related domain info.
• -w – Run reverse WHOIS lookup for domain ownership links.
• -b – Query the BigDomainData API for additional acquisition data.

• -o – Save output to a file of your choice for future analysis.

acqhunt -d example.com -c -w -b        # Full domain investigation
acqhunt -org "Google LLC" -oc          # Organization certificate discovery
acqhunt -ip 192.168.1.0/24             # Domain enumeration by IP range
acqhunt -a AS15169                     # Domain discovery via ASN
