+The `requirements.txt` file contains the following dependencies:
 
-Running a local DNS caching resolver can significantly speed up DNS queries and reduce your network footprint. Here’s how to set up `unbound` on a Debian-based Linux distribution (like Ubuntu).

+
+## Configuration
+
+DNSRecon is configured using a `.env` file. You can copy the provided example file and edit it to suit your needs:
 
 ```bash
-sudo apt update
+cp .env.example .env
-sudo apt install unbound -y
 ```
 
-**b. Configure Unbound:**
+The following environment variables are available for configuration:
-Create a new configuration file for DNSRecon:
 
-```bash
+| Variable | Description | Default |
-sudo nano /etc/unbound/unbound.conf.d/dnsrecon.conf
+| :--- | :--- | :--- |
-```
+| `SHODAN_API_KEY` | Your Shodan API key. | |
+| `FLASK_SECRET_KEY`| A strong, random secret key for session security. | `your-very-secret-and-random-key-here` |
+| `FLASK_HOST` | The host address for the Flask application. | `127.0.0.1` |
+| `FLASK_PORT` | The port for the Flask application. | `5000` |
+| `FLASK_DEBUG` | Enable or disable Flask's debug mode. | `True` |
+| `FLASK_PERMANENT_SESSION_LIFETIME_HOURS`| How long a user's session in the browser lasts (in hours). | `2` |
+| `SESSION_TIMEOUT_MINUTES` | How long inactive scanner data is stored in Redis (in minutes). | `60` |
+| `DEFAULT_RECURSION_DEPTH` | The default number of levels to recurse when scanning. | `2` |
+| `DEFAULT_TIMEOUT` | Default timeout for provider API requests in seconds. | `30` |
+| `MAX_CONCURRENT_REQUESTS`| The number of concurrent provider requests to make. | `5` |
+| `LARGE_ENTITY_THRESHOLD`| The number of results from a provider that triggers the "large entity" grouping. | `100` |
+| `MAX_RETRIES_PER_TARGET`| The number of times to retry a target if a provider fails. | `8` |
+| `CACHE_EXPIRY_HOURS`| How long cached provider responses are stored (in hours). | `12` |

+## Systemd Service
-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
-    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
-
-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:
-
-```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 +143,18 @@ 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.
-  - **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.**
