reconFTW is an open-source (MIT) automated reconnaissance framework written in Shell that orchestrates 80+ security tools to perform full recon on target domains, from OSINT and subdomain enumeration to web analysis and vulnerability scanning. It is aimed at bug bounty hunters, penetration testers, and security researchers, with modular configuration and optional distributed scanning via Axiom.
Use cases
- automate reconnaissance on a target domain
- enumerate subdomains for a bug bounty target
- scan a domain for vulnerabilities with nuclei
- run OSINT on a company before a pentest
- perform full recon pipeline with a single command
- scale recon scans across cloud instances
- import scan results into a vulnerability management platform
When to choose
- you want a one-command, end-to-end recon pipeline for a domain
- you do bug bounty or pentesting and need subdomain enumeration, web analysis, and vuln scanning chained together
- you want to orchestrate many existing security tools without wiring them yourself
- you need distributed scanning across multiple machines via Axiom
When to avoid
- you need a GUI or web dashboard for managing scans
- you only need a single specific check rather than a full recon suite
- you are on Windows without WSL2, since Linux/macOS are the supported platforms
- you lack authorization to scan the target - it is for legal, authorized testing only
