history
Project history and usage
favirecon is a Go security reconnaissance CLI that uses favicon hashes to help identify technologies, WAFs, exposed panels, and known services during target recon.
Project history
The GitHub repository was created in November 2022. The official README centers the tool on a favicon hash database and asks users to open issues when they find new or incorrect hash-to-service associations.
Adoption history
The README documents installation through Homebrew, Snap, and go install. Homebrew currently tracks the upstream v1.0.3 release archive and also provides a HEAD build path.
How it is used
favirecon accepts a single URL, a list of target domains, standard input, or CIDR input, and supports concurrency, timeout, rate limiting, proxy, output file, verbose, silent, and JSON output flags.
Why package nerds care
favirecon is useful to security-focused package-manager users because it packages a bug-bounty reconnaissance technique as a small cross-platform Go CLI with simple shell integration.
Timeline
- 2022: GitHub repository created.
- 2023: v0.0.1 published on GitHub Releases.
- 2026: v1.0.3 published and tracked by Homebrew.
