HostHunter - A Recon Tool For Discovering Hostnames Using OSINT Techniques

A tool to efficiently discover and extract hostnames over a large set of target IP addresses. HostHunter utilises simple OSINT techniques. It generates a CSV file containing the results of the reconnaissance.
Taking screenshots was also added as a beta functionality.

Demo
  • Currently GitLab's markup language does not support HTML or CSS control over the images, thus the following link thumbnail is huge. 

Installation
  • Tested with Python 3.7.2.

Linux
  • Use wget command to download a latest Google Chrome debian package.
$ wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb

$ dpkg -i ./google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb

$ sudo apt-get install -f
  • Install python dependencies.
$ pip install -r requirements.txt

Simple Usage Example
$ python3 hosthunter.py <targets.txt>
$ cat vhosts.csv

More Examples

                        Sets the path of the output file.
  -b, --bing            Use Bing.com search engine to discover more hostnames
                        associated with the target IP addreses.
