Recon-NG is a powerful OSINT penetration tool that I explored for my second project as the Plessas Experts Network intern. While Recon-NG is limited to running in a Linux environment, there are workarounds (dual booting or downloading a virtual machine) that allow a Windows PC user to access its capabilities. For my examples, I used Oracle’s virtual machine known as VirtualBox* to run Kali-Linux on my PC in order to run Recon-NG. For help with downloading and running the virtual machine and Kali-Linux, this video is very helpful.
