Reconnaissance

Domain and web application reconnaissance. Discovers subdomains, open ports, endpoints, APIs, and JavaScript routes to build attack surface inventory.

Phases

Domain Assessment

  1. Subdomain Discovery - Passive DNS, certificate transparency, DNS brute-forcing, zone transfers
  2. Port Scanning - nmap/masscan (top 1000/10000/all), service detection, OS fingerprinting
  3. Service Enumeration - Version detection, banner grabbing, protocol-specific enumeration

Web Application Mapping

  1. Software Inventory - Dependencies, frameworks, SBOM generation
  2. Active Scanning - ffuf, gobuster, nikto, ZAP spider for directories/files
  3. API Discovery - REST, GraphQL, SOAP, WebSocket, Swagger/OpenAPI docs
  4. JavaScript & SPA - Client-side routes, dynamic scripts, browser storage
  5. Surface Analysis - Categorize attack surfaces, prioritize by risk

Output

inventory/  - JSON: subdomains, ports, endpoints, APIs, SBOM
analysis/   - MD: attack-surface, testing-checklist
raw/        - Tool outputs (nmap, ffuf, ZAP, subfinder)

Tools

subfinder, amass, nmap, masscan, ffuf, gobuster, nikto, ZAP, Playwright MCP

  • /osint - Run alongside reconnaissance for repository enumeration, secret scanning, and git history analysis

Rules

  1. Passive discovery before active scanning
  2. Always run /osint in parallel during Phase 2
  3. Respect rate limits
  4. Verify subdomains are live before port scanning
  5. Save all raw tool outputs
