RED_HAWK is a PHP-based all-in-one reconnaissance and vulnerability scanning tool for websites. It performs information gathering (whois, DNS, geo-IP, subdomain and reverse IP lookups), CMS detection, banner grabbing, error-based SQLi scanning, and WordPress-specific scans from the command line.

Use cases

  • gather information about a target domain before a pentest
  • scan a website for SQL injection vulnerabilities
  • enumerate subdomains of a domain
  • detect which CMS a website is running
  • scan a WordPress site for sensitive files and version vulnerabilities
  • perform whois and geo-IP lookups on a domain
  • check if a site is behind Cloudflare
  • crawl a website to extract links

When to choose

  • you want a single interactive CLI tool covering many basic recon and scanning tasks
  • you are a penetration tester doing initial reconnaissance on a web target
  • you need quick CMS detection, subdomain enumeration, and banner grabbing without stitching together multiple tools

When to avoid

  • you need a modern, actively developed scanner with updated vulnerability signatures
  • you require scalable or automated scanning in CI pipelines rather than interactive use
  • you need deep exploitation capabilities rather than surface-level scanning
  • your environment cannot run PHP
