Contributing to ReconOps

Thanks for wanting to contribute. ReconOps exists to help beginners and intermediate hunters build solid recon habits — contributions that serve that mission are welcome.

What We're Looking For

  • Better or more current tool recommendations
  • Missing recon techniques or methodology steps
  • Improved shell scripts or new useful scripts
  • Fixes to incorrect or outdated information
  • Clearer explanations of complex concepts
  • New documentation in the docs/ folder
  • Tools added or updated for 2026

What We're NOT Looking For

  • Exploitation techniques (this is recon-only)
  • Tools or techniques for unauthorized testing
  • Offensive payloads, shellcode, or weaponized content
  • Content that encourages illegal activity

How to Contribute

  1. Fork the repo
  2. Create a branch with a descriptive name: 
    git checkout -b add-graphql-recon-tips
git checkout -b fix-subdomain-script-bug
git checkout -b update-cloud-tools-2026
  3. Make your changes
  4. Test scripts if you're contributing shell scripts
  5. Submit a Pull Request with a clear description of what you changed and why

Formatting Guidelines

  • Keep tool tables consistent with existing format
  • Code blocks should include comments explaining what each part does
  • Bash scripts should include usage instructions at the top
  • Keep beginner accessibility in mind — avoid jargon without explanation

Reporting Issues

Found something wrong or outdated? Open an issue with:

  • What's incorrect
  • What it should say
  • A source/reference if applicable
