Recon is one of the most important phases that seem easy but takes a lot of effort and skill to do right. One needs to know about the right tools, correct queries/syntax, run those queries, correlate the information, and sanitize the output. All of this might be easy for a seasoned infosec/recon professional to do, but for rest, it is still near to magic. How cool it will be to ask a simple question like "Find me an open Memcached server in Singapore with UDP support?" or "How many IP cameras in Singapore are using default credentials?" in a chat and get the answer?

The integration of GPT-3, deep learning-based language models to produce human-like text, with well-known recon tools like Shodan, is the foundation of ReconPal. ReconPal also supports using voice commands to execute popular exploits and perform reconnaissance.

Built With

• OpenAI GPT-3
• Shodan API
• Speech-to-Text
• Telegram Bot
• Docker Containers
• Python 3

To get ReconPal up and running, follow these simple steps.

Prerequisites

• Telegram Bot Token Use BotFather and create a new telegram bot. Refer to the documentation at https://core.telegram.org/bots

• Shodan API:
  Create a shodan Account and create a new API Key from https://account.shodan.io/

• Google Speech-to-Text API:
  Enable Speech-to-Text in GCP and get the credentials. Refer to these steps from the documentation https://cloud.google.com/speech-to-text/docs/before-you-begin

• OpenAI API Key:
  Create a free openAI account to try out the API. https://beta.openai.com/account/api-keys

• Docker

  sudo apt-get updates​
  sudo apt-get install docker.io​
  sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.26.0/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o​ /usr/local/bin/docker-compose​
  chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
