Recon-ng

Web reconnaissance framework with modular design

About Recon-ng

Recon-ng is a reconnaissance framework that provides modules for gathering open source intelligence about targets from the command line. Self-hosting it on a small server, NAS, or VPS keeps the service available on your terms and makes backups and migrations straightforward. That makes it a practical fit for homelab users, small teams, and organizations that value privacy, ownership, and predictable costs over time.
