## What it is
ReconDog is a Python-based reconnaissance 'Swiss Army Knife' that gathers information about targets (domains, IPs) using third-party APIs like Censys, Shodan, and Wappalyzer. It offers both an interactive wizard and command-line argument interface, and can process piped input from other tools.

## Use cases
- enumerate subdomains of a domain
- check if a target is a honeypot
- detect the CMS behind a website
- perform whois and reverse IP lookups
- scan common TCP ports on a target
- identify technologies used by a website
- gather information about an IP via Censys

## When to choose
- you want quick API-based recon without touching the target directly
- you need a lightweight multi-purpose recon tool that runs anywhere Python runs
- you want to chain recon tasks by piping targets from other tools via STDIN

## When to avoid
- you need active scanning or direct packet-level interaction with targets
- you need a maintained tool with recent updates and modern Python support
- you require stealthy or large-scale scanning beyond what third-party APIs allow
