Description

The Recon Playbook: From Manual Scanning to Automated Reconnaissance

Stop wasting time on manual reconnaissance. This is the definitive guide to automating your security assessments.

The Reconnaissance Automation Playbook gives you a 260-page master system for finding hidden assets, services, and vulnerabilities that automated tools miss. Stop running disconnected commands and start executing a streamlined, professional process.

Inside, you’ll get our complete methodology for passive and active reconnaissance, from foundational OSINT to advanced service enumeration. But more importantly, you’ll get over 30 ready-to-run Bash and Python scripts that automate the entire workflow. We’re talking automated subdomain discovery, intelligent port scanning, web enumeration, and custom tooling that works while you sleep.

What’s Inside This 260+ Page Comprehensive Guide:

Part I: Foundations & Setup

• Adopt the reconnaissance mindset professionals use
• Build your perfect toolkit environment (Kali, Parrot, or custom)
• Set up secure, isolated labs with VMs and Docker

Part II: The Core Toolbox — Commands & Tools

• Passive Recon & OSINT: Domain intelligence, DNS mapping, public data harvesting
• Active Discovery: Network enumeration, port scanning mastery with Nmap
• Service Enumeration: Banner grabbing, technology fingerprinting, vulnerability hints
• Web App Recon: Content discovery, virtual hosts, parameter analysis, endpoint mapping

Part III: Automation with Scripts

• Bash Scripting: Tool chaining, subdomain discovery, automated Nmap reporting
• Python Scripting: Custom HTTP header grabbers, ASN lookups, API integrations
• Modular Pipelines: Build resumable, error-handled reconnaissance systems

Part IV: AI Assistance

• Leverage ChatGPT and LLMs for enhanced reconnaissance
• Prompt library for tool explanation, script generation, and methodology
• AI-powered data analysis and parsing techniques

Part V: Operational Security & Reporting

• Stay under the radar with rate limiting, proxies, and detection evasion
• Organize findings like a pro with structured note-taking
• Generate professional reports that get results

This isn’t just theory. This is a practical toolkit for penetration testers, bug bounty hunters, and red teamers who need results. You’ll learn to build resilient scanning pipelines, integrate with APIs like Shodan and Censys, and even leverage AI to generate code and debug scripts. A dedicated section on operational security ensures you stay stealthy, and our reporting templates help you deliver professional-grade results.

Stop piecing it together. The entire system—the methods, the scripts, the automation frameworks—is waiting for you.
