Modern External Attack Surface Mapping & Threat Intelligence Platform
Asynchronous • Modular • High-Concurrency • EPSS + CISA KEV Prioritization • Masscan & Nuclei Active Scanning • Shodan • Censys • crt.sh • OTX
📚 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:
- ReconExec (
reconx): The high-speed, asynchronous command-line execution engine. - 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.
