that you can look into? To my mind AXFR transfers should be
considered as part of the  reconnaissance stage of a pen-test.

Actually, they were, a long time ago.

...and some still are. You might be lucky, you might be not.

The Fierce DNS bruteforcer tries an AXFR first, and if not successful,
it DNS-bruteforces a domain. Thus it covers both approaches with one
tool.

But I am time and again surprised how often an AXFR request still is
successful.
