    I recently launched https://www.merklemap.com/, a tool designed to leverage Certificate Transparency logs for enhanced domain monitoring. Example query https://www.merklemap.com/search?query=example&page=1 Key features of MerkleMap: - Near real-time ingestion of CT logs - Full-string subdomain search capability - Support for an arbitrary number of wildcards in searches While the current functionality focuses on subdomain discovery, I'm planning to expand MerkleMap into a comprehensive CT log monitor over time. I'd love to hear your feedback.
