SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Network reconnaissance is a foundational security activity that helps teams understand exposure and risk. Recon automates the mapping of domains, IPs, netblocks, and assets to reveal attack surfaces, relationships, and potential blind spots.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Passive reconnaissance: WHOIS lookups, DNS enumeration, certificate transparency, IPInfo data, reverse DNS, historical DNS, and public database queries to build a baseline asset map.
  • Active reconnaissance: Authorized port scanning, service fingerprinting, TLS/SSL analysis, live-host discovery, and asset validation to identify in-scope targets for assessment.
  • OSINT integration and workflows: orchestration of OSINT results with infrastructure mapping, domain/netblock discovery, and cross-skill coordination for bug-bounty and threat-intelligence tasks.

Quick Start

Invoke Recon with a target to begin passive reconnaissance and map the infrastructure.

FAQPage Schema
How do I map my network attack surface using passive and active reconnaissance?

Network attack surface mapping combines passive techniques like WHOIS, DNS enumeration, and certificate transparency with active port scanning and service fingerprinting. This reveals domains, IPs, and netblocks to identify exposure and potential blind spots.

What is the best way to automate subdomain enumeration for bug bounty programs?

Automating subdomain enumeration for bug bounty programs involves orchestrating OSINT workflows with certificate transparency logs and DNS records. This approach cross-references public data to accurately discover in-scope domains and provide structured outputs for remediation.

Can I integrate OSINT workflows with infrastructure mapping for threat intelligence?

Yes, OSINT workflows integrate directly with infrastructure mapping to support threat intelligence. Orchestrating public database queries, historical DNS, and reverse DNS data builds a comprehensive baseline asset map that reveals relationships and potential risks.

Does active reconnaissance require authorization before scanning netblocks and live hosts?

Active reconnaissance requires explicit authorization before scanning netblocks and discovering live hosts. Authorized workflows perform port scanning, TLS analysis, and service fingerprinting to validate assets and identify in-scope targets for security assessments safely.

When do I need infrastructure reconnaissance for continuous security monitoring?

Infrastructure reconnaissance is needed for continuous security monitoring to track changes in domains, IPs, and netblocks over time. Regular passive lookups and authorized active scanning maintain an updated baseline asset map to reveal new exposure and blind spots.

What structured outputs does domain recon provide for audit and remediation?

Domain recon provides structured outputs that map domains, IPs, netblocks, and asset relationships for audit and remediation. These outputs consolidate OSINT data and active scanning results to identify in-scope targets and document potential blind spots.
