Abstract

The reconnaissance stage of penetration testing could be greatly enhanced by integrating several reconnaissance tools and techniques into a single platform. This may also result in a target system's potential vulnerabilities being identified with more accuracy and efficiency. Penetration testers can concentrate on other areas of the testing process and potentially find more complicated security flaws by automating and expediting the reconnaissance process. The major top-level domain of the organization is used as the input for the recon framework in this study, which then does the recon and displays the findings in the relevant directories.
