β¨ NAME β¨
recon-ng β Web Reconnaissance framework. that's it, that's the name, no notes π
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
recon-ng [-h] [-w workspace] [-r filename] [--no-version] [--no-analytics] [--no-marketplace] [--stealth] [--version] [--analytics]
π¦ DESCRIPTION π¦
so. Recon-ng is a full-featured reconnaissance framework, and it was designed with one goal: giving you a genuinely powerful environment to conduct open source web-based reconnaissance β quickly and thoroughly. speed AND thoroughness, we love a multitasking icon π
the vibe check: Recon-ng has a look and feel similar to the Metasploit Framework, which lowkey reduces the learning curve for leveraging the framework. it's giving familiar. it's giving cozy. BUT β and this is important β it is quite different.
Recon-ng is not intended to compete with existing frameworks, because it's designed exclusively for web-based open source reconnaissance. periodt.
so let's be clear about the assignment: - want to exploit? use the Metasploit Framework. - want to social engineer? use the Social-Engineer Toolkit. - want recon? okay then you're in the right place bestie π«Ά
