An Approach for Implementing Comprehensive Reconnaissance for Bug Bounty Hunters

Reconnaissance (Recon) is an essential step in exploring an area to steal information gathering, and it also plays a crucial role in penetration testing. This paper aims to automate the reconnaissance process of bug hunting on a target using python programming. Information gathering is an essential step for any recon process, and it helps us to identify the targets as well as helps us to list out the areas where the user can work to exploit them. The main emphasis of this paper is on bug bounty and bug hunting – the former being the result/reward of performing the latter. This paper is purposely written for penetration testers to make it easy for them and automate the process of Information gathering, which is the very crucial phase of Penetration testing.
