Features

OSINT

Gather public data like domain registrations, leaked credentials, and employee info using search engines and tools like Maltego or theHarvester.

Network Recon

Discover live hosts, open ports, and running services using ping sweeps, DNS lookups, and tools like Nmap or Masscan.

Port Scanning

Probe target systems to identify open ports, service versions, and underlying operating systems using Nmap scan types and timing flags.

Vulnerability Scanning

Automate detection of known flaws like missing patches or weak configs using Nessus or OpenVAS, then validate findings manually.

Exploitation

Gain initial access by leveraging identified vulnerabilities with tools like Metasploit, custom scripts, or manual payloads.

Pivoting

Use a compromised host as a foothold to route traffic and attack internal systems not directly accessible from the outside.
