...From these inputs, it automatically discovers associated digital assets including subdomains and SSL certificates, allowing users to map the attack surface of a system. After discovery, the framework performs reconnaissance on active assets to gather technical information such as open ports, technologies, network details, and hosting infrastructure. Mantis then conducts security scans to identify vulnerabilities, exposed secrets, configuration weaknesses, and potentially malicious phishing domains. It integrates both open source and custom security tools to automate multiple phases of a security assessment in a single workflow.

IVRE is an open source network reconnaissance framework designed to collect, process, and analyze intelligence gathered from network scans and traffic data. It provides tools for both active and passive reconnaissance, enabling users to understand how networks behave and identify exposed services or infrastructure. The framework integrates with well known security and scanning tools such as Nmap, Masscan, ZGrab2, ZDNS, and Zeek to gather large amounts of network intelligence. IVRE stores the collected data in a database and offers multiple ways to explore and analyze it, including a web interface, command line tools, and a Python API. ...

HostHunter is an open source reconnaissance tool designed to discover and extract hostnames associated with a large set of IPv4 or IPv6 addresses. It helps security professionals map IP addresses to virtual hostnames using a combination of OSINT data sources and active reconnaissance techniques. This approach enables users to identify hidden or additional services that may be hosted behind a single IP address. By correlating hostname information from certificates, APIs, HTTP headers, and other sources, the tool helps reveal the broader attack surface of an organization or infrastructure. HostHunter is commonly used in penetration testing, bug bounty reconnaissance, and security assessments where identifying virtual hosts is critical. ...

AttackSurfaceMapper (ASM) is a reconnaissance and attack surface discovery tool designed to automate the process of mapping potential targets within an organization's infrastructure. It combines open source intelligence (OSINT) with selective active reconnaissance techniques to expand and analyze a target’s external attack surface. Users can supply domains, subdomains, or IP addresses as input, and applies multiple discovery methods to identify additional related assets such as new subdomains, associated IP ranges, and hosts within the same network ownership. It performs both brute-force and passive enumeration techniques to uncover infrastructure components that may not be immediately visible. ...
