 # DNSRecon - Passive Infrastructure Reconnaissance Tool
 
-DNSRecon is an interactive, passive reconnaissance tool designed to map adversary infrastructure. It operates on a "free-by-default" model, ensuring core functionality without subscriptions, while allowing power users to enhance its capabilities with paid API keys.
+DNSRecon is an interactive, passive reconnaissance tool designed to map adversary infrastructure. It operates on a "free-by-default" model, ensuring core functionality without subscriptions, while allowing power users to enhance its capabilities with paid API keys. It is aimed at cybersecurity researchers, pentesters, and administrators who want to understand the public footprint of a target domain.
 
-**Current Status: Phase 2 Implementation**
+**Repo Link:** [https://git.cc24.dev/mstoeck3/dnsrecon](https://git.cc24.dev/mstoeck3/dnsrecon)
 
-  - ✅ Core infrastructure and graph engine
+-----
-  - ✅ Multi-provider support (crt.sh, DNS, Shodan)
+
-  - ✅ Session-based multi-user support
+## Concept and Philosophy
-  - ✅ Real-time web interface with interactive visualization
+
-  - ✅ Forensic logging system and JSON export
+The core philosophy of DNSRecon is to provide a comprehensive and accurate map of a target's infrastructure using only **passive data sources** by default. This means that, out of the box, DNSRecon will not send any traffic to the target's servers. Instead, it queries public and historical data sources to build a picture of the target's online presence. This approach is ideal for researchers and pentesters who want to gather intelligence without alerting the target, and for administrators who want to see what information about their own infrastructure is publicly available.
+
+For power users who require more in-depth information, DNSRecon can be configured to use API keys for services like Shodan, which provides a wealth of information about internet-connected devices. However, this is an optional feature, and the core functionality of the tool will always remain free and passive.

-## Installation
+-----
+
+## Technical Architecture
+
+DNSRecon is a web-based application built with a modern technology stack:
+
+  * **Backend**: The backend is a **Flask** application that provides a REST API for the frontend and manages the scanning process.
+  * **Scanning Engine**: The core scanning engine is a multi-threaded Python application that uses a provider-based architecture to query different data sources.
+  * **Session Management**: **Redis** is used for session management, allowing for concurrent user sessions with isolated scanner instances.
+  * **Data Storage**: The application uses an in-memory graph to store and analyze the relationships between different pieces of information. The graph is built using the **NetworkX** library.
+  * **Frontend**: The frontend is a single-page application that uses JavaScript to interact with the backend API and visualize the graph.
+
+-----
+
+## Data Sources
+
+DNSRecon queries the following data sources:
+
+  * **DNS**: Standard DNS lookups (A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, NS, SOA, TXT).
+  * **crt.sh**: A certificate transparency log that provides information about SSL/TLS certificates.
+  * **Shodan**: A search engine for internet-connected devices (requires an API key).

+## Running the Application
-server:
-    # Listen on localhost for all users
-    interface: 127.0.0.1
-    access-control: 0.0.0.0/0 refuse
-    access-control: 127.0.0.0/8 allow
 
-    # Enable prefetching of popular items
+For development, you can run the application using the following command:
-    prefetch: yes
-```
-
-**c. Restart Unbound and set it as the default resolver:**
-
-```bash
-sudo systemctl restart unbound
-sudo systemctl enable unbound
-```
-
-To use this resolver for your system, you may need to update your network settings to point to `127.0.0.1` as your DNS server.
-
-**d. Update DNSProvider to use the local resolver:**
-In `dnsrecon/providers/dns_provider.py`, you can explicitly set the resolver's nameservers in the `__init__` method:
-
-```python
-# dnsrecon/providers/dns_provider.py
-
-class DNSProvider(BaseProvider):
-    def __init__(self, session_config=None):
-        """Initialize DNS provider with session-specific configuration."""
-        super().__init__(...)
-
-        # Configure DNS resolver
-        self.resolver = dns.resolver.Resolver()
-        self.resolver.nameservers = ['127.0.0.1'] # Use local caching resolver
-        self.resolver.timeout = 5
-        self.resolver.lifetime = 10
-```
-
-## Usage (Development)
-
-### 1\. Start the Application
 
 ```bash
 python app.py
 ```
 
-### 2\. Open Your Browser
+For production, it is recommended to use a more robust server, such as Gunicorn:
-
-Navigate to `http://127.0.0.1:5000`.
-
-### 3\. Basic Reconnaissance Workflow
-
-1.  **Enter Target Domain**: Input a domain like `example.com`.
-2.  **Select Recursion Depth**: Depth 2 is recommended for most investigations.
-3.  **Start Reconnaissance**: Click "Start Reconnaissance" to begin.
-4.  **Monitor Progress**: Watch the real-time graph build as relationships are discovered.
-5.  **Analyze and Export**: Interact with the graph and download the results when the scan is complete.
-
-## Production Deployment
-
-To deploy DNSRecon in a production environment, follow these steps:
-
-### 1\. Use a Production WSGI Server
-
-Do not use the built-in Flask development server for production. Use a WSGI server like **Gunicorn**:
 
 ```bash
-pip install gunicorn
 gunicorn --workers 4 --bind 0.0.0.0:5000 app:app
 ```
 
-### 2\. Configure Environment Variables
+-----
 
-Set the following environment variables for a secure and configurable deployment:
+## Systemd Service
-
-```bash
-# Generate a strong, random secret key
-export SECRET_KEY='your-super-secret-and-random-key'
-
-# Set Flask to production mode
-export FLASK_ENV='production'
-export FLASK_DEBUG=False
-
-# API keys (optional, but recommended for full functionality)
-export SHODAN_API_KEY="your_shodan_key"
-```
-
-### 3\. Use a Reverse Proxy
-
-Set up a reverse proxy like **Nginx** to sit in front of the Gunicorn server. This provides several benefits, including:
-
-  - **TLS/SSL Termination**: Securely handle HTTPS traffic.
-  - **Load Balancing**: Distribute traffic across multiple application instances.
-  - **Serving Static Files**: Efficiently serve CSS and JavaScript files.
-
-**Example Nginx Configuration:**
-
-```nginx
-server {
-    listen 80;
-    server_name your_domain.com;
-
-    location / {
-        return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
-    }
-}
-
-server {
-    listen 443 ssl;
-    server_name your_domain.com;
-
-    # SSL cert configuration
-    ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/your_domain.com/fullchain.pem;
-    ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/your_domain.com/privkey.pem;
-
-    location / {
-        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:5000;
-        proxy_set_header Host $host;
-        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
-        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
-    }
-
-    location /static {
-        alias /path/to/your/dnsrecon/static;
-        expires 30d;
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## Autostart with systemd
 
 To run DNSRecon as a service that starts automatically on boot, you can use `systemd`.
 
@@ -245,12 +183,77 @@ You can check the status of the service at any time with:
 sudo systemctl status dnsrecon.service
 ```
 
-## Security Considerations
+-----
 
-  - **API Keys**: API keys are stored in memory for the duration of a user session and are not written to disk.
+## Updating the Application
-  - **Rate Limiting**: DNSRecon includes built-in rate limiting to be respectful to data sources.
+
-  - **Local Use**: The application is designed for local or trusted network use and does not have built-in authentication. **Do not expose it directly to the internet without proper security controls.**
+To update the application, you should first pull the latest changes from the git repository. Then, you will need to wipe the Redis database and the local cache to ensure that you are using the latest data.
+
+### 1\. Update the Code
+
+```bash
+git pull
+```
+
+### 2\. Wipe the Redis Database
+
+```bash
+redis-cli FLUSHALL
+```
+
+### 3\. Wipe the Local Cache
+
+```bash
+rm -rf cache/*
+```
+
+### 4\. Restart the Service
+
+```bash
+sudo systemctl restart dnsrecon.service
+```
+
+-----
+
+## Extensibility
+
+DNSRecon is designed to be extensible, and adding new providers is a straightforward process. To add a new provider, you will need to create a new Python file in the `providers` directory that inherits from the `BaseProvider` class. The new provider will need to implement the following methods:
+
+  * `get_name()`: Return the name of the provider.
+  * `get_display_name()`: Return a display-friendly name for the provider.
+  * `requires_api_key()`: Return `True` if the provider requires an API key.
+  * `get_eligibility()`: Return a dictionary indicating whether the provider can query domains and/or IPs.
+  * `is_available()`: Return `True` if the provider is available (e.g., if an API key is configured).
+  * `query_domain(domain)`: Query the provider for information about a domain.
+  * `query_ip(ip)`: Query the provider for information about an IP address.
+
+-----
+
+## Unique Capabilities and Limitations
+
+### Unique Capabilities
+
+  * **Graph-Based Analysis**: The use of a graph-based data model allows for a more intuitive and powerful analysis of the relationships between different pieces of information.
+  * **Real-Time Visualization**: The real-time visualization of the graph provides immediate feedback and allows for a more interactive and engaging analysis experience.
+  * **Session Management**: The session management feature allows multiple users to use the application concurrently without interfering with each other's work.
+
+### Limitations
+
+  * **Passive-Only by Default**: While the passive-only approach is a key feature of the tool, it also means that the information it can gather is limited to what is publicly available.
+  * **No Active Scanning**: The tool does not perform any active scanning, such as port scanning or vulnerability scanning.
