HostHunter - A Recon Tool For Discovering Hostnames Using OSINT Techniques - Hacking Land

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.
