Automating recon using ChatGPT

Hello Forks,

I am Krip. In this blog i am gonna show you how can we automate the process of recon with popular ai tool ChatGPT. This blog will help you for speeding up your daily tasks and automating your work processes. So let’s get started

Recon is the process of gathering information about target. In the context of Bug Bounty It is important to gather information about target.Traditionally, recon involved manual efforts to gather intelligence and survey the target area or system. However, with advancements in technology, automation has become increasingly valuable in streamlining the recon process.

What is ChatGPT?

ChatGPT is a state-of-the-art language model developed by OpenAI. It is part of the GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) family of models, specifically GPT-3.5. ChatGPT is designed to generate human-like text responses based on the given input prompt or conversation. It has been trained on a vast amount of diverse text data from the internet and can understand and generate text in a wide range of topics and styles. ChatGPT relies on deep learning techniques, specifically transformers, which enable it to process and generate coherent and contextually relevant responses. It has been used for various applications, including natural language understanding, content generation, language translation, and virtual assistance. ChatGPT has demonstrated impressive language capabilities, but it’s important to note that it may sometimes generate incorrect or nonsensical responses, so human supervision and critical evaluation are still necessary.

Let’s ask ChatGPT about popular recon tools

i asked ChatGPT to suggest me a popular 10 tools for recon and here is the list

Now, I asked ChatGPT to write a bash script that can automatically install all these tools. I must say, I’m sometimes amazed by the speed at which it handles bash-related tasks.

Step Two — Automating the process of recon

I must admit that code written by ChatGPT was quite fascinating. Now we need to automate recon process. we have installed all recon tools using bash script. doing recon manually is quite laborious So what automating the whole process. I asked ChatGPT to write a bash script to automating reconing using tools given by ChatGPT. Here is the result

Here is the Final code:

#!/bin/bash

# Enter the target domain or IP address
target=”example.com”

# Create a directory to store the results
mkdir recon_results
cd recon_results

# Nmap scan
nmap -p- -sV -oA nmap_scan $target

# Dirb scan
dirb http://$target -o dirb_scan.txt

# Sublist3r scan
python3 /path/to/Sublist3r/sublist3r.py -d $target -o sublist3r_scan.txt

# TheHarvester scan
theHarvester -d $target -b all -f theHarvester_scan.txt

# Amass scan
amass enum -passive -d $target -o amass_scan.txt

# Masscan scan
masscan -p1–65535 $target -oG masscan_scan.txt

# Waybackurls scan
waybackurls $target > waybackurls_scan.txt

# EyeWitness scan
EyeWitness.py -f $target -d eyewitness_scan

# GoWitness scan
gowitness single $target

# Gobuster scan
gobuster dir -u http://$target -w /path/to/wordlist.txt -o gobuster_scan.txt

echo “Reconnaissance has been completed. Results have been saved in the recon_results directory.”
