Hey guys!!! Recently i was looking at github's 2012 list of pentest tools and came across an effective tool for recon .Since recon is my favourite part of the hacking process i decided to make this tutorial so lets dive straight into the process

Step 3: Getting HTTP Header

Lets use the http header grabber option to grab the banner of

espn.com

type 5 and press enter

now enter the domain you want to grab banner of i.e espn.com for this tutorial

as you can see it return the output and the server is identified as Apache

Step 4: Getting robots.txt

We all know that robots.txt file of a website provides location prohibited to access

this can include important website paths for us so lets get the robots.txt file of

pogo.com(my favourite online game site :))

for this enter 6

and provide the domain as pogo.com

so as you see we get a lot of paths these can be important and we may want to note them down.
