## What it is
A Python CLI tool that fetches favicon.ico files from lists of URLs, computes their mmh3 hashes, and groups domains/subdomains/IPs by matching favicon hashes. It identifies web technologies via a fingerprint dictionary and can generate Shodan dorks for further reconnaissance.

## Use cases
- find subdomains running the same web framework via favicon hashes
- generate shodan dorks from favicon hashes for bug bounty recon
- fingerprint web servers from a list of urls
- group discovered hosts by their favicon.ico hash
- osint reconnaissance on target domains

## When to choose
- you need favicon-based asset fingerprinting during bug bounty recon
- you want to cluster large subdomain lists by technology stack
- you want quick shodan dorks from favicon hashes

## When to avoid
- you need a full-featured recon framework rather than a single-purpose script
- your environment is not Linux/Unix-like with Python 3
- you need actively maintained tooling with recent updates
