Summary
This wraps the recon-ng OSINT framework so LLMs can drive reconnaissance workflows programmatically. You get workspace management for organizing investigations, module loading and execution for tasks like WHOIS lookups and domain enumeration, marketplace access to install additional recon modules, and direct database queries against collected intelligence. It exposes recon-ng's command interface through structured tools like module_load, module_options_set, and module_run, plus db_query for pulling results. Reach for this when you want conversational access to systematic reconnaissance without manually navigating recon-ng's CLI, especially useful for iterative OSINT gathering where an LLM can chain together modules based on discovered data.
