📚 Official Documentation

For complete guides, installation, CLI usage, architecture, and threat intelligence scoring, please visit the ReconHound Official Documentation.

ReconHound is a high-performance External Attack Surface Management (EASM) and Threat Intelligence ecosystem. It maps exposed internet infrastructure, performs targeted vulnerability validation, and enriches findings with real-world exploitation risk data (FIRST EPSS + CISA KEV + Threat Actor Attribution).

The platform consists of two main components:

  1. ReconExec (reconx): The high-speed, asynchronous command-line execution engine.
  2. ReconHound Dashboard: The interactive, Cytoscape-powered graphical UI for attack surface visualization.

📦 Quick Installation

# 1. Download and install from PyPI
pip install reconhound

# 2. Run the automated setup routine
reconx config setup

# 3. Explore commands
reconx --help

For prerequisites like Masscan and Nuclei, and advanced API keys configuration, check the Installation Guide.


💻 ReconExec (CLI) Usage Examples

# Recon a single IP or CIDR Subnet
reconx all 142.250.191.68
reconx all 142.250.191.0/24

# Recon a Domain (Subdomains + Reverse WHOIS + Infrastructure)
reconx all spacex.com

# Recon a Batch Target List from File
reconx all targets.txt

# Fetch Threat Intelligence for a specific CVE
reconx intel CVE-2021-44228

# Start the Interactive EASM Web Dashboard (ReconHound)
reconx hound start

For advanced queries, vulnerability filtering, and reporting, see the CLI Usage Guide.
