# Shadow Recon

`An easy-to-use python tool to perform subdomain enumeration, endpoints recon and much more`

The purpouse of this tool is helping bug hunters and pentesters during reconnaissance

## Installation:

If you want to install it:
```sh
git clone https://github.com/aenoshrajora/Shadow-Recon
cd Shadow-Recon
pip install -r requirements.txt
```

## Help Panel:

```
Shadow-Recon - Automating reconnaissance

options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-d DOMAIN, --domain DOMAIN
domain to search its subdomains
-o OUTPUT, --output OUTPUT
file to store the scan output
-t TOKEN, --token TOKEN
api token of hunter.io to discover mail accounts and employees
-p, --portscan perform a fast and stealthy scan of the most common ports
-a, --axfr try a domain zone transfer attack
-m, --mail try to enumerate mail servers
-e, --extra look for extra dns information
-n, --nameservers try to enumerate the name servers
-i, --ip it reports the ip or ips of the domain
-6, --ipv6 enumerate the ipv6 of the domain
-w, --waf discover the WAF of the domain main page
-b, --backups discover common backups files in the web page
-s, --subtakeover check if any of the subdomains are vulnerable to Subdomain Takeover
-r, --repos try to discover valid repositories and s3 servers of the domain (still improving it)
-c, --check check active subdomains and store them into a file
--secrets crawl the web page to find secrets and api keys (e.g. Google Maps API Key)
--enum stealthily enumerate and identify common technologies
--whois perform a whois query to the domain
--wayback find useful information about the domain and his different endpoints using The Wayback Machine and other services
--all perform all the enumeration at once (best choice)
--quiet don't print the banner
--version display the script version
```

## Usage:

- A list of examples to use the tool in different ways

> Most basic usage to dump all the subdomains
```sh
python3 shadow-recon.py -d example.com
```

> Enumerate subdomains and store them in a file
```sh
python3 shadow-recon.py -d example.com --output domains.txt
```

> Don't show banner
```sh
python3 shadow-recon.py -d example.com --quiet
```

> Enumerate specifics things using parameters
```sh
python3 shadow-recon.py -d example.com -n -p -w -b --whois --enum # You can use other parameters, see help panel
```

> Perform all the recon functions (recommended)
```sh
python3 shadow-recon.py -d domain.com --all
```

## Features:

:ballot_box_with_check: Enumerate subdomains using passive techniques (like **subfinder**)

:ballot_box_with_check: A lot of extra queries to enumerate the DNS

:ballot_box_with_check: Domain Zone transfer attack

:ballot_box_with_check: WAF type detection

:ballot_box_with_check: Common enumeration (CMSs, reverse proxies, jquery...)

:ballot_box_with_check: Whois target domain

:ballot_box_with_check: Subdomain Takeover checker

:ballot_box_with_check: Scan common open ports

:ballot_box_with_check: Check active subdomains (like **httprobe**)

:ballot_box_with_check: Wayback machine support to enumerate endpoints (like **waybackurls**)

:ballot_box_with_check: Email harvesting

## Todo:

- Compare results with other tools such as **subfinder**, **gau**, **httprobe**...
- Improve code and existings functions

## Demo:

> Simple query to find valid subdomains

## Third part

The tool uses different services to get subdomains in different ways

The WAF detector was modified and adapted from [CRLFSuite](https://github.com/Nefcore/CRLFsuite) concept <3

All DNS queries use **dns-python** at 100%, no **dig** or any extra tool needed

Email harvesting functions is done using **Hunter.io** API with personal token (free signup)
