autorecon [OPTIONS] targets

autorecon is a multi-threaded network reconnaissance tool that performs automated enumeration of services. It runs various scanning tools in parallel and organizes results by host and service type.
The tool first performs port scanning using nmap, then launches service-specific enumeration scripts based on detected open ports. Results are organized into per-target directories with structured output for each scanning phase. It supports custom scan profiles and plugin-based service enumeration, making it extensible for different penetration testing methodologies.

-t, --target-file file

Read targets from file

Output results to specified directory

Limit scanning to specific ports (T: TCP, U: UDP, B: both)

~/.config/AutoRecon/

Directory for custom scan profiles and plugin configurations.

Requires root privileges for certain scan types. Results are saved to a results directory organized by target. This tool should only be used on systems you have authorization to scan.

autorecon was created for penetration testing and CTF competitions to automate initial reconnaissance.
