ReconSpider

ReconSpider is an Advanced Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) Framework for scanning IP Addresses, Emails, Websites, and Organizations to gather information from various sources. It aggregates raw data, visualizes it on a dashboard, and supports alerting and monitoring.

Description

ReconSpider serves as a comprehensive OSINT tool designed for Infosec Researchers, Penetration Testers, Bug Hunters, and Cyber Crime Investigators. It enables deep information gathering on targets by scanning IP addresses, emails, websites, and organizations from different sources.

The tool aggregates all raw data collected, presenting it through a dashboard for visualization. It also facilitates alerting and monitoring capabilities on the gathered data, making it easier to track and analyze findings.

ReconSpider combines functionalities from Wave, Photon, and Recon Dog to perform thorough enumeration of the attack surface. The package includes IP2Proxy LITE data for proxy detection.

How It Works

ReconSpider operates by scanning targets such as IP addresses, emails, websites, and organizations using OSINT techniques from multiple sources. It leverages dependencies like Shodan, IP2Proxy, Nmap, and others to collect and aggregate raw data, which is then visualized on a dashboard with alerting and monitoring features. Configuration requires API keys like Shodan and ipstack in /etc/reconspider/reconspider.conf, and it incorporates capabilities from Wave, Photon, and Recon Dog for comprehensive attack surface enumeration.

Installation

bash
sudo apt install reconspider

Examples

Shows the help menu, displaying ASCII art banner and notes about missing Shodan API key and ipstack API key configuration
reconspider -h
Installs the ReconSpider package and its dependencies on Kali Linux
sudo apt install reconspider
Starts ReconSpider, prompting for Shodan API key in /etc/reconspider/reconspider.conf if not configured
reconspider
Adds Shodan API key to the configuration file as prompted by the tool
echo 'SHODAN_API_KEY=yourkey' >> /etc/reconspider/reconspider.conf
Adds ipstack API key to the configuration file as prompted by the tool
echo 'IPSTACK_API_KEY=yourkey' >> /etc/reconspider/reconspider.conf
Initiates OSINT scanning on a website target after configuration (inferred from tool purpose)
