Manual reconnaissance can consume hours during penetration testing and bug bounty hunting. Switching between multiple tools, organizing outputs, and tracking findings becomes inefficient very quickly. While building Astrolabe, our goal was simple: Create a centralized workflow that helps security researchers automate repetitive recon tasks and focus more on analysis instead of tool management. Common Problems in Traditional Recon Most pentesters deal with: scattered recon outputs repetitive command execution poor reporting workflows difficult collaboration lack of automation pipelines These issues become even larger for teams handling multiple targets. Our Approach We started automating: subdomain enumeration port scanning workflows result aggregation asset tracking reporting pipelines The result was a streamlined SaaS workflow for offensive security operations. Lessons Learned A few things became obvious during development: 1.…
