SmartRecon v2 is a passive reconnaissance tool designed for penetration testers and bug hunters to rapidly gather information about a target domain. By centralizing 50 techniques — including Google Dorks, OSINT platforms, certificate transparency logs, cloud exposure checks, and more — it eliminates the need to memorize queries or manually open tools one by one.
imageNo active scanning. No packets sent to the target. 100% passive.

Step 1: Visit https://shadowdsoul.github.io/SmartRecon/
Step 2: Enter the target domain in the input field (e.g. example.com).
Step 3: Hold Ctrl and click any button to open the result in a background tab — you stay on SmartRecon and can keep clicking.
That's the core workflow. But v2 adds much more:
Fire every technique in a category at once with the Quick Launch bar:
- All File Exposure — directory listings, config files, DB dumps, log files, etc.
- All Infrastructure — Shodan, Censys, SSL, DNS, WHOIS, BuiltWith, etc.
- All Social/Code — GitHub, GitLab, Pastebin, LinkedIn, StackOverflow, etc.
- All Subdomain Intel — Google dorks, crt.sh, DNSDumpster, etc.
- All Search Engines — Google, Bing, Wayback Machine, PublicWWW, etc.
- ⚡ Launch All — fires every visible technique simultaneously.
- Click a category tab to narrow the view to a specific group.
- Use the search box to filter techniques by name or description in real time.
- Buttons turn green after you click them so you never lose track of progress.
- The stats bar shows total techniques, how many you've launched, and % coverage.
- The Launch Log keeps a timestamped record of every technique fired this session.
- Reset clears all fired state when switching to a new target.

Passive reconnaissance gathers information without directly interacting with the target. No packets are sent to the target server — all queries go to third-party services (Google, Shodan, GitHub, etc.). This means:
- No IDS/IPS alerts on the target
- No footprint left in target access logs
- Legal and safe for initial scoping
