Recon-ng
A modular reconnaissance framework for conducting open source intelligence (OSINT) gathering from web-based sources.
What is Recon-ng?
Recon-ng is an open source intelligence (OSINT) gathering framework designed to reduce the time security professionals spend harvesting information from open web sources. It provides a structured environment for conducting reconnaissance operations with a modular, extensible architecture. The tool focuses exclusively on information gathering rather than exploitation or social engineering.
Security professionals, penetration testers, and red team operators who need to conduct thorough reconnaissance as part of their security assessments. It's particularly valuable for those performing OSINT operations during security engagements.
Developers choose Recon-ng for its specialized focus on web reconnaissance, its familiar Metasploit-like interface that reduces learning time, and its modular design that allows easy extension and customization for specific reconnaissance needs.
