  5. Data Storage & Export – Saves collected data in an SQLite database for further analysis.

Key Features of Recon-ng:

  1. Modular Framework – Offers over 80 reconnaissance modules.

  2. Automated OSINT – Collects domains, subdomains, emails, and IPs.

  3. Database Integration – Stores gathered data for easy retrieval.
