ThreatNG Advanced Search is a high-fidelity investigation engine within the Reconnaissance Hub that bridges the gap between high-level EASM and granular vulnerability assessment. In an era where security teams are drowning in uncontextualized data, Advanced Search empowers professionals to conduct precise investigations across discovery and assessment results to quickly pinpoint specific vendors, technologies, vulnerabilities, and subdomains. By utilizing purely external, unauthenticated discovery without the need for internal agents, it provides the ultimate "outside-in" adversary view to extract actionable intelligence and identify critical risk patterns before they are exploited.

ThreatNG Advanced Search acts as your ultimate defense against unknown assets by interrogating subdomains across multiple dimensions, including Infrastructure & Cloud Tenancy and Technology Stack & Composition. It fingerprints over 4,000 server-side technologies, web servers, and operating systems to instantly reveal unpatched legacy debt and "Shadow Tech". By filtering results to identify specific hosting environments (e.g., AWS, Azure) and content classifications (like forgotten DEV/UAT sandboxes), you gain the profound relief of knowing exactly which assets belong to your sanctioned corporate environment and which are rogue deployments managed by third-party vendors.

Subdomain Takeover Susceptibility is a critical vulnerability leveraged by Industrialized Extortionists. ThreatNG proactively neutralizes this threat by first using external discovery to identify all associated subdomains, and then utilizing DNS enumeration to find CNAME records pointing to third-party services. The system cross-references these external hostnames against a comprehensive Vendor List spanning Cloud & Infrastructure, Development, Content Management, and Customer Engagement platforms. Crucially, it performs a specific validation check to definitively confirm if the CNAME points to an inactive or unclaimed resource on that vendor's platform. This confirms the "dangling DNS" state with absolute certainty, allowing your team to neutralize the threat before an attacker can hijack the subdomain for phishing or malware distribution.

Attackers frequently exploit missing security controls on forgotten subdomains to execute sophisticated client-side attacks. The Subdomain Intelligence module automatically audits the presence or absence of critical HTTP security headers, specifically analyzing Content-Security-Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict-Transport-Security (HSTS), X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options. By providing a binary pass/fail assessment, Advanced Search instantly identifies "naked" assets that are highly vulnerable to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), Clickjacking, and Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) downgrade attacks, allowing you to lock down these vulnerabilities before they are weaponized.

Under SEC Item 1.05, public companies must disclose material cybersecurity incidents within four business days of determining their materiality. If your team is paralyzed spending days trying to manually verify if an exposed database or vendor technology belongs to your organization, you are in severe regulatory peril. ThreatNG Advanced Search delivers "Legal-Grade Attribution" by instantly correlating isolated technical findings with decisive business context. This gives CISOs the irrefutable evidence required to rapidly determine an asset's ownership, functionality, and material impact, ensuring you can confidently face the Board of Directors and federal regulators with verdicts, not guesses.

The modern SOC is crippled by alert fatigue, with the average organization receiving 960 alerts daily and 66% of teams unable to keep pace. The manual effort required to investigate these alerts—cross-referencing IPs, WHOIS records, and vendors—is a "Hidden Tax" that bleeds budgets and burns out analysts. Advanced Search acts as an automated noise filter, quickly isolating the 1% of critical, actionable threats from the background radiation. For MSSPs and enterprise teams, utilizing the Cross-Entity Intelligence (Overwatch) facility alongside Advanced Search acts as a powerful force multiplier, empowering Tier 1 analysts to perform Tier 3, portfolio-wide investigations in seconds. This reclaims lost operational time, stops analyst turnover, and allows your team to actively hunt adversaries rather than chasing ghosts.
