About reconftw
reconftw is an automated reconnaissance pipeline that chains together best-of-breed security tools into a comprehensive, single-command recon workflow. Running reconftw against a target domain triggers a full pipeline: subdomain enumeration, DNS resolution, port scanning, web probing, screenshot capture, technology fingerprinting, URL collection, parameter extraction, JavaScript analysis, vulnerability scanning, and nuclei template execution. The tool installs and manages all its dependencies automatically, making it one of the easiest ways to get a professional recon pipeline running. Configuration is done through a single profile file where you can enable/disable specific modules and set scope boundaries. reconftw outputs organized results in a structured directory format with separate files for each recon stage. With over 7,000 GitHub stars, it is one of the most popular recon automation frameworks in the bug bounty community.
