wiki-recon

wiki-recon is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Encod3d-Sec/TORCH. It costs 51 tokens per session (1,535 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An external security reconnaissance workflow for mapping a website or other approved target. Reconnaissance means finding subdomains, live hosts, URLs, JavaScript details, and possible vulnerabilities.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to enumerate subdomains, check which hosts respond, crawl URLs, find hidden content, inspect JavaScript, and run template-based vulnerability checks within an approved scope.
Why use it?
It organizes several discovery and scanning steps so you can build an attack-surface record and avoid repeating already completed work.

    Code accesses credential files (SSH keys, AWS credentials, etc.). This could indicate credential theft attempts.
    Fix: Remove references to credential paths. Use environment variables or secrets managers. For docs, use placeholder paths (e.g., /path/to/config). Never load .env or token files in production code paths.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

wiki-recon scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Wiki-Recon: External Recon Pipeline

Phase 0: Wiki Query (MANDATORY)

qmd_query "recon subdomain enumeration" via wiki-search MCP -> read matching pages.
qmd_query "OSINT external attack surface" -> apply known techniques.

If no matching page: proceed. Do not block on missing wiki coverage. Dorks to find exposed/vulnerable assets: wiki/cheatsheets/recon-dorks.md; attack paths once in: wiki/cheatsheets/attack-chains.md.

Scope Check

  • Confirm target domain(s) are in scope
  • Read Attack-surface.md - skip hosts already fully documented
  • Read Deadends.md - skip recon paths already exhausted

Recon Pipeline

Tool-first: subfinder/assetfinder for subdomains, httpx for live-host probing, katana/gau for URLs, ffuf for content discovery, nuclei for templated checks. The crt.sh curl below is the one hand request kept (a passive source with no tool wrapper); everywhere else lean on the tool, not a curl loop.

Stage 1: Subdomain Discovery

TARGET="target.com"
RECON_DIR="poc/recon/$TARGET"
mkdir -p $RECON_DIR

# Passive sources
curl -s "https://crt.sh/?q=%.${TARGET}&output=json" \
  | jq -r '.[].name_value' | sed 's/\*\.//g' | sort -u > $RECON_DIR/subs.txt

subfinder -d $TARGET -silent | tee -a $RECON_DIR/subs.txt
assetfinder --subs-only $TARGET | tee -a $RECON_DIR/subs.txt
sort -u $RECON_DIR/subs.txt -o $RECON_DIR/subs.txt

Stage 2: Live Host Discovery

cat $RECON_DIR/subs.txt | dnsx -silent | \
  httpx -silent -status-code -title -tech-detect | tee $RECON_DIR/live.txt

On any TLS host from Stage 2, dump the cert SANs early; a hidden vhost none of the above discovers can be listed only in the Subject Alternative Name, see [[cdn-waf-bypass]].

Stage 3: URL Crawl + Historical

cat $RECON_DIR/live.txt | awk '{print $1}' | \
  katana -d 3 -jc -kf all -silent | tee $RECON_DIR/urls.txt
echo $TARGET | waybackurls | tee -a $RECON_DIR/urls.txt
gau $TARGET --subs | tee -a $RECON_DIR/urls.txt
sort -u $RECON_DIR/urls.txt -o $RECON_DIR/urls.txt

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

wiki-recon is a skill published in the GitHub repository Encod3d-Sec/TORCH (318 stars, last pushed 7d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 51 tokens to every session and 1,535 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
