Description

ronin-recon is a micro-framework and tool for performing reconnaissance. ronin-recon uses multiple workers which process different value types (ex: IP, host, URL, etc) and produce new values. ronin-recon contains built-in recon workers and supports loading additional 3rd-party workers from Ruby files or 3rd-party git repositories. ronin-recon has a unique queue design and uses asynchronous I/O to maximize efficiency.

Features

• Uses asynchronous I/O and fibers.
• Supports defining recon modules as plain old Ruby class.
• Provides built-in recon workers for:
  • IP range enumeration.
  • DNS lookup of host-names.
  • Querying nameservers.
  • Querying mailservers.
  • DNS reverse lookup of IP addresses.
  • DNS SRV record enumeration.
  • DNS subdomain enumeration.
  • Service/port scanning with nmap.
  • Enumerates the Common Name (CN) and subjectAltNames within all SSL/TLS certificates.
  • Web spidering.
  • HTTP directory enumeration.
• Supports loading additional recon modules from Ruby files or from installed 3rd-party git repositories.
• Builds a network graph of all discovered assets.
• Provides a simple CLI for listing workers or performing recon.
• Supports many different output file formats:
  • TXT
  • CSV
  • JSON
  • NDJSON
  • GraphViz
    • DOT
    • SVG
    • PNG
    • PDF
• Supports automatically saving recon results into ronin-db.

Anti-Features

• Does not require API keys to run.
• Not just a script that runs a bunch of other recon tools.
• Does not use AI.

Synopsis

List all available recon workers:

$ ronin-recon workers
  api/crt_sh
  dns/lookup
  dns/mailservers
  dns/nameservers
  dns/reverse_lookup
  dns/srv_enum
  dns/subdomain_enum

Print info about a specific recon worker:

$ ronin-recon worker dns/lookup
[ dns/lookup ]

  Summary: Looks up the IPs of a host-name
  Description:

    Resolves the IP addresses of domains, host names, nameservers,
    and mailservers.

  Accepts:

    * domains
    * hosts
    * nameservers
    * mailservers

  Outputs:

    * IP address

  Intensity: passive

Run the recon engine on a single domain:

$ ronin-recon run example.com

Run the recon engine on a single host-name:

$ ronin-recon run www.example.com

Run the recon engine on a single IP address:

$ ronin-recon run 1.1.1.1

Run the recon engine on an IP range:

$ ronin-recon run 1.1.1.1/24

Run the recon engine on multiple targets:

$ ronin-recon run example1.com example2.com secret.foo.example1.com secret.bar.example2.com 1.1.1.1/24

Run the recon engine and ignore specific hosts, IPs, URLs, etc.:

$ ronin-recon run --ignore staging.example.com example.com

Save the recon results to a plain-text file:

$ ronin-recon run -o output.txt example.com

Save the recon results to a directory of multiple plain-text files:

$ ronin-recon run -o output_dir example.com

Save the recon results to a CSV file:

$ ronin-recon run -o output.csv example.com

Save the recon results to a JSON file:

$ ronin-recon run -o output.json example.com

Save the recon results to a NDJSON file:

$ ronin-recon run -o output.ndjson example.com

Save the recon results to a PNG image:

$ ronin-recon run -o output.png example.com

Save the recon results to a SVG image:

$ ronin-recon run -o output.svg example.com

Save the recon results to a PDF image:

$ ronin-recon run -o output.pdf example.com

Generate a boilerplate recon worker file, with some custom information:

$ ronin-recon new example_worker.rb \
                  --author Postmodern \
                  --description "This is an example."

Generate a ronin repository of your own recon workers:

$ ronin-repos new my-repo
$ cd my-repo/
$ mkdir recon
$ ronin-recon new recon/my_recon.rb \
                  --author You \
                  --description "This is my recon worker."
$ vim recon/my_recon.rb
$ git add recon/my_recon.rb
$ git commit
$ git push

Examples

Defining a custom recon worker:

require 'ronin/recon/worker'

module Ronin
  module Recon
    module DNS
      class FooBar

        register 'dns/foo_bar'

        summary 'My DNS recon technique'
        description <<~DESC
          This recon worker uses the foo-bar technique.
          Bla bla bla bla.
        DESC
        author 'John Smith', email: '...'

        accepts Domain
        outputs Host
        intensity :passive

        param :wordlist, String, desc: 'Optional wordlist to use'

        def process(value)
          # ...
          yield Host.new(discovered_host_name)
          # ...
        end

      end
    end
  end
end

Manually running the recon engine:

require 'ronin/recon/engine'

domain = Ronin::Recon::Values::Domain.new('github.com')

Ronin::Recon::Engine.run([domain], max_depth: 3) do |value,parent|
  case value
  when Ronin::Recon::Values::Domain
    puts "Found domain #{value} for #{parent}"
  when Ronin::Recon::Values::Nameserver
    puts "Found nameserver #{value} for #{parent}"
  when Ronin::Recon::Values::Mailserver
    puts "Found mailserver #{value} for #{parent}"
  when Ronin::Recon::Values::Host
    puts "Found host #{value} for #{parent}"
  when Ronin::Recon::Values::IP
    puts "Found IP address #{value} for #{parent}"
  end
end
