Tool Description

Web-Recon is a high-performance, production-grade asynchronous CLI/TUI utility engineered for passive reconnaissance (OSINT) and rapid network perimeter health tracking.

Unlike traditional, rigid brute-forcers or standalone domain checkers (like Gobuster or basic whois tools), Web-Recon bridges the gap between reactive asynchronous scanning speeds and multi-dimensional OSINT data enrichment in a single execution pipeline.

Key Features & Value to Kali Linux

1. Asynchronous Perimeter Probing: Built on a reactive non-blocking I/O model (asyncio + aiohttp), enabling massive, concurrent request bursts through a persistent ClientSession pipeline.
2. Automated Event-Driven OSINT Enrichment: Upon detecting any network anomaly (connection drops, timeouts, or non-200 HTTP codes), the tool automatically triggers thread-isolated background workers (via asyncio.to_thread) to fetch complete WHOIS profiles without blocking the frame rate of the main TUI.
3. Structured Persistent Storage: Instantly packages all discovered anomalies and WHOIS metadata into an atomic SQLite relational database out-of-the-box, saving penetration testers from manual logs manipulation.
4. Production-Ready & Flexible: Features precise concurrency control via asyncio.Semaphore (-c), sub-second precision stealth delays (-d) to evade WAF/Cloudflare tracking, and a Headless Silent Automation Mode (--quiet) for seamless integration into multi-tool bash pipelines.

Code Quality & Packaging Standards

• Complies with the Debian Policy Manual specifications (headless automation support, strict argument parsing via argparse).
• Formatted with a clean build manifest (pyproject.toml) for standardized backend compilation.
• Covered by an automated testing suite (pytest + pytest-asyncio) running via continuous integration (GitHub Actions CI pipeline).
• Audited against the Bandit SAST Scanner with No issues identified metrics (0 flaws found).
