Recon-ng is a full-featured reconnaissance framework designed with the goal of providing a powerful environment to conduct open-source web-based reconnaissance quickly and thoroughly.
Recon-ng has a look and feels similar to the Metasploit Framework, reducing the learning curve for leveraging the framework. However, it is quite different. Recon-ng is not intended to compete with existing frameworks, as it is designed exclusively for web-based open source reconnaissance. If you want to exploit, use the Metasploit Framework. If you want to social engineer, use the Social-Engineer Toolkit. If you want to conduct reconnaissance, use Recon-ng! See the Wiki to get started.
