# Project Name **Automated Website Reconnaissance Framework** --- # Objective Develop a Python-based automation tool that gathers publicly available information about a target website using various reconnaissance techniques. The project is intended for: * Malware Analysis Practical * OSINT learning * Cybersecurity education * Network enumeration practice Only scan systems you own or have explicit permission to test. --- # Project Flow ``` User Input │ ▼ Validate Domain │ ▼ Information Gathering │ ┌────┴─────────────────────┐ │ │ Passive Recon Active Recon │ │ ▼ ▼ Collect Results → Analyze → Save Report │ ▼ Generate HTML/PDF Report ``` --- # Modules ## 1. Target Validation Purpose * Check if domain format is valid * Resolve DNS * Detect IP Address Example ``` google.com ↓ 142.250.xxx.xxx ``` --- ## 2. DNS Enumeration Collect * A Record * AAAA Record * MX Record * NS Record * TXT Record * SPF * DMARC * SOA * CNAME Useful libraries ``` dnspython dig host ``` Output ``` A Record MX Record TXT Record NS Servers ``` --- ## 3. WHOIS Lookup Collect * Registrar * Creation Date * Expiry Date * Organization * Abuse Contact Library ``` python-whois ``` --- ## 4. IP Information Collect * Public IP * Country * City * ASN * ISP * Organization Possible APIs ``` ipinfo.io ip-api ipwhois ``` --- ## 5. HTTP Header Analysis Collect ``` Server Content-Type Cookies Security Headers Cache Control Powered By ``` Check ``` HSTS X-Frame-Options CSP X-XSS-Protection Referrer Policy ``` --- ## 6. SSL Certificate Analysis Collect * Issuer * Expiry Date * Valid From * TLS Version * Cipher Suite * SAN * Signature Algorithm Python ``` ssl socket ``` --- ## 7. Port Scanning Purpose Find open ports. Example ``` 21 22 25 53 80 110 143 443 8080 ``` Options ``` Python sockets or Nmap automation ``` --- ## 8. Nmap Integration Collect ``` Open Ports OS Guess Running Services Versions Scripts Latency ``` Example ``` nmap -A example.com ``` or ``` python-nmap ``` --- ## 9. Technology Detection Identify ``` Apache Nginx Cloudflare PHP ASP.NET React Vue WordPress Laravel Node.js ``` Possible methods ``` BuiltWith API Wappalyzer HTTP headers ``` --- ## 10. Directory Discovery Check common paths ``` /admin /login /dashboard /api /config /robots.txt /sitemap.xml ``` Use ``` requests or ffuf or dirsearch ``` --- ## 11. Robots.txt Analysis Collect ``` Allowed paths Disallowed paths ``` --- ## 12. Sitemap Analysis Collect ``` Pages Endpoints URLs ``` --- ## 13. Subdomain Enumeration Possible methods Passive ``` crt.sh SecurityTrails VirusTotal ``` Active ``` dns brute force ``` --- ## 14. Email Security Check ``` SPF DKIM DMARC ``` --- ## 15. CDN Detection Determine ``` Cloudflare Akamai Fastly AWS CloudFront ``` --- ## 16. Geolocation Display ``` Country Latitude Longitude Timezone ``` --- ## 17. Website Fingerprinting Identify ``` CMS Framework Programming Language Libraries JavaScript Frameworks ``` --- ## 18. Screenshot Capture (Optional) Automatically capture ``` Homepage Login Page ``` Libraries ``` Playwright Selenium ``` --- ## 19. Security Checks (Non-intrusive) Check ``` HTTPS enabled Redirects HTTP→HTTPS Cookie Flags Missing Headers TLS Version Certificate Expiry ``` --- ## 20. Report Generator Generate ``` JSON HTML PDF CSV ``` Sections ``` Executive Summary Target Information DNS Ports Headers SSL Technologies Directory Results Recommendations ``` --- # Suggested Folder Structure ``` website-recon/ │ ├── main.py ├── config.py ├── requirements.txt │ ├── modules/ │ ├── dns.py │ ├── whois_lookup.py │ ├── headers.py │ ├── ssl_scan.py │ ├── ports.py │ ├── nmap_scan.py │ ├── tech.py │ ├── directories.py │ ├── robots.py │ ├── sitemap.py │ ├── subdomains.py │ ├── geo.py │ ├── report.py │ └── screenshot.py │ ├── reports/ │ ├── templates/ │ └── assets/ ``` --- # Suggested Execution Flow ``` Start ↓ Enter Website ↓ Validate Domain ↓ DNS Lookup ↓ WHOIS ↓ Resolve IP ↓ Port Scan ↓ SSL Analysis ↓ HTTP Headers ↓ Technology Detection ↓ Directory Enumeration ↓ Subdomains ↓ Generate Report ↓ End ``` ---
