## What it is
AutoRecon is a multi-threaded Python CLI tool that automates network reconnaissance by performing port and service detection scans, then launching further enumeration scans of discovered services using a configurable set of tools. It is designed for CTFs, OSCP-style exams, and penetration testing engagements, with no automated exploitation by default.

## Use cases
- automatically enumerate services on multiple network targets
- run initial port scans and follow-up service scans during a pentest
- prepare for OSCP labs and exams with automated recon
- speed up reconnaissance in CTF challenges
- scan IP ranges and hostnames concurrently with IPv6 support
- collect organized scan results with logs and suggested manual commands

## When to choose
- you need automated, multi-target service enumeration during a pentest or CTF
- you want a configurable, plugin-based recon pipeline that avoids automated exploitation
- you want organized results directories, logging, and suggested manual follow-up commands

## When to avoid
- you need automated exploitation or vulnerability exploitation out of the box
- you require guaranteed complete enumeration of every service
- you want a GUI-driven vulnerability scanner rather than a CLI recon tool
