HostHunter is a Python CLI recon tool that maps IPv4/IPv6 targets to virtual hostnames using OSINT and active reconnaissance techniques such as SSL certificate grabbing. It outputs results in CSV, TXT, or Nessus formats and can capture screenshots of discovered hosts.
Use cases
- discover hostnames for a list of IP addresses
- map virtual hosts to IPs during a pentest
- enumerate attack surface for a bug bounty scope
- generate Nessus-compatible recon output
- grab SSL certificates to find vhost names
- screenshot web services on target IPs
When to choose
- you have IP ranges and need to uncover hidden virtual hostnames
- you want OSINT plus active recon in one lightweight Python tool
- you need recon results in CSV, TXT, or Nessus format
When to avoid
- you need a full vulnerability scanner rather than hostname recon
- you require a GUI or Windows-native support
- you need actively maintained tooling with frequent updates
