The company plans to continue to support the tools listed below, whether in the form of bug fixes or new features.

"I find joy in writing code, turning it into a logic puzzle to create powerful software tools. The satisfaction of seeing my creations in action, like EyeWitness, brings a sense of pride and saves valuable time. Motivated by the possibility of filling a software gap, I open source my creations, hoping they'll benefit others as they did for me," Chris Truncer, Senior Security Consultant & Director of Training, Red Siege, told Help Net Security.

This tool is very commonly used by penetration testers looking to sift through a long list of websites.

NET. PowerView is essentially the ultimate domain enumeration tool.

Wappybird is a ultithreaded Wappalyzer CLI tool to find web technologies, with optional CSV output.
