Documentation

Recon-ng โ€” Reconnaissance Framework

Recon-ng is a powerful web reconnaissance framework that provides an interactive environment for open-source intelligence gathering. It features a modular architecture with modules for contact discovery, domain enumeration, credential harvesting, geolocation, and more.

Framework Architecture

  • Workspaces: Isolate reconnaissance data per target
  • Modules: 100+ modules organized by category (discovery, exploitation, import, recon, reporting)
  • Marketplace: Download community modules
  • Reporting: Generate HTML, CSV, and other report formats

Interactive Usage

$ recon-ng -w target
[recon-ng][target] > marketplace search shodan
[recon-ng][target] > modules load recon/domains-hosts/shodan_hostname
[recon-ng][target][shodan_hostname] > set SOURCE example.com
[recon-ng][target][shodan_hostname] > run

Dependencies

python3
