ReconFTW automates the entire process of reconnaissance for you. It outperforms the work of subdomain enumeration along with various vulnerability checks and obtaining maximum information about your target.
ReconFTW uses a lot of techniques (passive, bruteforce, permutations, certificate transparency, source code scraping, analytics, DNS records...) for subdomain enumeration which helps you to get the maximum and the most interesting subdomains so that you be ahead of the competition.
It also performs various vulnerability checks like XSS, Open Redirects, SSRF, CRLF, LFI, SQLi, SSL tests, SSTI, DNS zone transfers, and much more. Along with these, it performs OSINT techniques, directory fuzzing, dorking, ports scanning, screenshots, nuclei scan on your target.
So, what are you waiting for? Go! Go! Go! 💥

You can check out our wiki for the installation guide Installation Guide 📖
- Requires Golang > 1.15.0+ installed and paths correctly set ($GOPATH, $GOROOT)
Important : If you are not running reconftw as root, run sudo echo "${USERNAME} ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL" > /etc/sudoers.d/reconFTW , to make sure no sudo prompts are required to run the tool and to avoid any permission issues.
git clone https://github.com/six2dez/reconftw
cd reconftw/
./install.sh
./reconftw.sh -d target.com -r- Pull the image
$ docker pull six2dez/reconftw:main- Run the container
$ docker run -it --rm \
-v "${PWD}/OutputFolder/":'/reconftw/Recon/' \
six2dez/reconftw:main -d example.com -r
However, if you wish to:
- Dynamically modify the behaviour & function of the image
- Build your own container
- Build an Axiom Controller on top of the official image
Please refer to the Docker documentation.
Yes! reconFTW can also be easily deployed with Terraform and Ansible to AWS, if you want to know how to do it, you can check the guide here
You can find a detailed explanation of the configuration file here 📖
- Through
reconftw.cfgfile the whole execution of the tool can be controlled. - Hunters can set various scanning modes, execution preferences, tools, config files, APIs/TOKENS, personalized wordlists and much more.

Check out the wiki section for more info Axiom Support
- As reconFTW actively hits the target with a lot of web traffic, hence there was a need to move to Axiom distributing the work load among various instances leading to reduction of execution time.
- During the configuration of axiom you need to select
reconftwas provisoner. - You can create your own axiom's fleet before running reconFTW or let reconFTW to create and destroy it automatically just modifying reconftw.cfg file.
- To add reconFTW results to your BBRF instance just add IP and credentials to reconftw.cfg file section dedicated to bbrf.
- During the execution of the scans the results will be added dynamically when each step ends.
- Even you can set up locally your BBRF instance to be able to visualize your results in a fancy web UI.

Follow these simple steps to end up with a private repository with your API Keys and /Recon data.
A Makefile is provided to quickly bootstrap a private repo. To use it, you'll need the Github CLI installed.
Once done, just run:
# below line is optional, the default is ~/reconftw-data
export PRIV_REPO="$HOME/reconftw-data"
make bootstrapTo sync your private repo with upstream:
make syncTo upload juicy recon data:
make upload- Create a private blank repository on
Git(Hub|Lab)(Take into account size limits regarding Recon data upload) - Clone your project:
git clone https://gitlab.com/example/reconftw-data - Get inside the cloned repository:
cd reconftw-data - Create a new branch with an empty commit:
git commit --allow-empty -m "Empty commit" - Add the official repo as a new remote:
git remote add upstream https://github.com/six2dez/reconftw(upstreamis an example) - Update upstream's repo:
git fetch upstream - Rebase current branch with the official one:
git rebase upstream/main master
- Upload changes to your personal repo:
git add . && git commit -m "Data upload" && git push origin master - Update tool anytime:
git fetch upstream && git rebase upstream/main master
