About:
Uncover is a go-based tool from ProjectDiscovery that simplifies the process of discovering exposed hosts across the internet. It leverages APIs from popular search engines like Shodan, Censys, and ZoomEye to fetch relevant IP addresses and domains. This streamlines the reconnaissance phase for security professionals by bypassing rate limits and complex query syntax.
Key Features:
  • Supports multiple search engines (Shodan, Censys, ZoomEye, Hunter)
  • Simple unified query syntax
  • Supports multiple output formats (JSON, CSV)
  • Integrates seamlessly with other ProjectDiscovery tools
Use Cases:
  • Performing broad-scope external reconnaissance for penetration tests
  • Identifying attack surfaces by finding exposed assets and services
  • Gathering target IP ranges for vulnerability scanning
Alternatives:
  • subfinder – Subfinder focuses specifically on subdomain enumeration, whereas Uncover focuses on IP and service discovery via search engines.
  • maigret – Maigret focuses on username reconnaissance across sites, while Uncover focuses on infrastructure and host discovery.
