Install and run

DomainIP address

otlite install bbot
Installs bbot==3.0.2 into its own virtualenv. otlite lists what it will install and asks before it starts.
otlite run bbot -- d:example.com
bbot receives bbot -y -p subdomain-enum -t example.com
otlite run bbot -- ip:192.0.2.1
bbot receives bbot -y -p subdomain-enum -t 192.0.2.1

Linux and macOS, no Docker. It uses your Python and pipx when both are there, and otherwise brings its own Python. About otlite · otlite docs

What it takes

Typed inputs after -- become Bbot's own arguments. Anything else after -- passes through unchanged, so every option of the tool still works.

Input	With otlite	`bbot` receives
Domain`d:`	`otlite run bbot -- d:example.com`	`bbot -y -p subdomain-enum -t example.com`
IP address`ip:`	`otlite run bbot -- ip:192.0.2.1`	`bbot -y -p subdomain-enum -t 192.0.2.1`

otlite always passes -y -p subdomain-enum first.

What a run leaves

Every run is saved under results/ where you run otlite (or --output, or OTLITE_RESULTS_DIR): what the tool printed, a sidecar with how it ran, and an envelope.

results/bbot/example.com/<time>_bbot_example.com_<run id>.txt
results/bbot/example.com/<time>_bbot_example.com_<run id>.meta.json
results/bbot/example.com/<time>_bbot_example.com_<run id>.envelope.json

{
  "envelope": 1,
  "tool": "bbot@3.0.2",
  "runtime": "otlite",
  "input": { "target": "example.com" },
  "case": null,
  "started_at": "…", "ended_at": "…", "duration_ms": …,
  "exit_code": 0,
  "status": "complete",
  "entities": [{ "type": "url", "value": "…" }, …],
  "warnings": [],
  "output": { "path": "results/bbot/example.com/<time>_bbot_example.com_<run id>.txt", "sha256": "…", "bytes": … }
}

The envelope's shape, the same for every tool; values elided. Its entities are the emails, domains, IP addresses and URLs found in the output, or the tool's own when it prints them.

otlite results --tool bbot

otlite extract bbot

otlite diff bbot example.com

List the saved runs, pull out every indicator, or compare the two latest runs against the same target.

With other tools

These run it with every other installed tool that takes the same input, a few at a time, and save each run:

otlite run --all d:example.com

otlite auto example.com
