## What it is
BigBountyRecon is a C# Windows GUI tool that automates initial reconnaissance on a target organisation using 58 techniques, including Google dorks and open-source tools. It helps penetration testers and bug bounty hunters quickly gather information about a target without manually remembering dork syntaxes.

## Use cases
- find exposed directories and configuration files on a target domain
- run google dorks against an organisation for bug bounty recon
- discover login pages and sql errors for a target
- speed up initial reconnaissance during a pentest
- find backup files and log files exposed by a target organisation

## When to choose
- you are a bug bounty hunter or pentester doing initial recon on an organisation
- you want to automate dozens of google dork queries in one click
- you work on windows and want a GUI-based recon tool

## When to avoid
- you need deep subdomain enumeration or port scanning rather than dork-based recon
- you require a cross-platform CLI workflow on linux or macos
- you need actively maintained tooling - the last release was in early 2021
