Pown Recon - A Powerful Target Reconnaissance Framework Powered By Graph Theory - Hacking Land

Pown Recon is a target reconnaissance framework powered by graph theory. The benefit of using graph theory instead of flat table representation is that it is easier to find the relationships between different types of information which comes quite handy in many situations. Graph theory algorithms also help with diffing, searching, like finding the shortest path, and many more interesting tasks.

Quickstart
This tool is meant to be used as part of Pown.js but it can be invoked separately as an independent tool.
If installed globally as part of Pown invoke like this:

$ pown recon

Otherwise, install this module from the root of your project:

$ npm install @pown/recon --save

Once done, invoke pown recon like this:

$ ./node_modules/.bin/pown-cli recon

You can also use Pown to invoke it locally:

$ POWN_ROOT=. pown recon

Tutorial
To demonstrate the power of Pown Recon and graph-based OSINT (Open Source Intelligence), let's have a look at the following trivial example.
Let's start by querying everyone who is a member of Google's engineering team and contributes to their GitHub account.

pown recon t -w google.network ghlm google

This command will generate a table similar to this:

┌─────────┬─────────────────┬────────────────────────────────────────────┬─────────────────────────┬─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
 │ (index) │      type       │                    uri                     │          login          │                         avatar                          │

You just created your first network!
The representation is tabular for convenience but underneath we've got a model which consists of nodes connected by edges.
If you are wondering what that looks like you can use SecApps Recon. The command line does not have the necessary level of interactivity to present the complexity of graphs.
The -w google.network command line option exported the network to a file. You can load the file directly into SecApps Recon with the file open feature. The result will look like this:

Now imagine that we want to query what repositories these Google engineers are working on. This is easy. First, we need to select the nodes in the graph and then transform them with the "GitHub List Repositories" transformation. This is how we do it from the command line:

pown recon t ghlr -r google.network -w google2.nework -s 'node[type="github:member"]'

If you don't hit GitHub API rate limits, you will be presented with this:

Since now we have two files google.network and google2.network you might be wondering what is the difference between them. Well, we have a tool for doing just that. This is how we do it.

pown recon diff google.network google2.network

Now we know! This feature is quite useful if you are building large recon maps and you are just curious to know what are the key differences. Imagine your cron job performs the same recon every day and you would like to know if something new just appeared which might be worth exploring further. Hello, bug bounty hunters!
