Recon — Penetration Testing Reconnaissance

Perform structured reconnaissance against an authorized target, organizing findings into an actionable attack surface map.

Authorization Check

Before running any commands, confirm:

1. The user has written authorization for the target (pentest engagement, bug bounty program, CTF/lab environment)
2. The target is within the defined scope

If authorization is unclear, ask before proceeding. Never assume authorization.

Methodology

Phase 1: Passive Recon

Gather information without touching the target directly.
