# Recon automation pipeline
## When it applies
You track one or more wildcard programs and want discovery to run repeatably (and on a
schedule), surfacing only *new* assets/findings instead of re-reviewing everything.
## Why it works
Recon is a directed flow: roots → subdomains → resolve → live → ports → nuclei. Wiring the
ProjectDiscovery tools together (each reads/writes lines) makes it composable, and diffing
against last run (`anew`) turns it into continuous monitoring that alerts on change.
## Method
1. **Pipeline (each stage feeds the next):**
```
subfinder -dL roots.txt -all -silent \
| dnsx -silent -a -resp-only \
| httpx -silent -sc -title -tech-detect \
| tee live.txt \
| nuclei -silent -severity low,medium,high,critical
```
2. **Diff for "only new"**: pipe each stage through `anew subs.txt` / `anew live.txt` so reruns
emit only newly-seen lines — the basis of continuous monitoring.
3. **Notify**: pipe results to `notify` (Slack/Discord/Telegram) so new hosts/findings alert you.
4. **Schedule** with cron/systemd-timer/GitHub Actions; persist state files per program so runs resume.
5. **Keep templates current**: `nuclei -update-templates` before each run.
## Gotchas
- Stay in scope: feed only in-scope roots, filter out-of-scope hosts before scanning.
- Respect rate limits (`-rl`, `-c`) and program automation rules — don't hammer.
- De-dupe wildcard DNS (`dnsx` wildcard filtering) or you'll alert on noise forever.
