Reconnaissance

Authorized testing only. Practice on systems you own, isolated labs, or targets with written permission. Unauthorized access is illegal.

Building shell recon pipelines like a pro.

Append new lines only (anew); parse URLs (unfurl); swap query values (qsreplace).

Tiny tools, massive daily leverage.

Commands & usage

cat new.txt | anew all.txt

cat urls.txt | unfurl domains | anew domains.txt

cat urls.txt | qsreplace 'FUZZ'

Commands are educational examples. Adapt hosts, paths, and rates to your authorized scope.
