Bbrecon – Python Library And CLI For The Bug Bounty Recon API
Bug Bounty Recon (bbrecon
) is a free Recon-as-a-Service for bug bounty hunters and security researchers. The API aims to provide a continuously up-to-date map of the Internet “safe harbor” attack surface, excluding out-of-scope targets.
It comes with an ergonomic CLI and Python library.
This repository holds the CLI and Python library. Please see the website for more details.
Important Notice
While effort is taken to ensure the results returned by bbrecon
are reliable and trustworthy, this service and its operators are in no way responsible for what you do with the data provided.
Double check your scopes and ensure you stay within safe harbors.
Features
- Public Programs – public bug bounty programs indexed and searchable with filters (live)
- Domains – domains in scope across programs (live)
- Private Programs – support for private programs (September 2020)
- Notifications – webhook alerts when programs are created, updated or domains discovered (September 2020)
- Endpoints – all HTTP and non-HTTP endpoints in scope across all programs (October 2020)
Statusbbrecon
is in a gradual Beta release phase; major features are released every few weeks to get feedback and fix kinks. You can sign up and start using it, but be aware that breaking changes may be deployed without notice. While the service and infrastructure is designed to scale, it is not currently configured to serve a large global audience. This will change, but for now YMMV.
Help
Please report bugs with GitHub issues.
Use the Gitter chat for support or enquiring about service availability during beta.
Getting Started
API key
Fetch an API key from the Console: https://console.bugbountyrecon.com
Only Google SSO is supported at this time.
Installation
$ pip3 install bbrecon
bbrecon
requires Python >= 3.8 – ifpip
tells you it can’t findbbrecon
it’s probably becausepip
is using another Python version. Check this withpip3 --version
.
If you intend to use the CLI, you should permanently configure your key:
$ bbrecon configure key
Enter your API key: YOUR_API_KEY
You can alternatively set the BBRECON_KEY
environment variable if you prefer.
CLI
The following will output all programs released in the last month that have “web” type targets (APIs/web apps):
$ bbrecon get programs --type web --since last-month

programs = bb.programs(
types=["web", "ios"],
platforms=["hackerone"],
rewards=["cash"],
)
for program in programs:
print(f"program.name rewards up to $program.maximum_bounty!")
print(f"More information is available at: program.url")
for scope in program.in_scope:
if scope.type == "desktop":
print("Found a desktop app in scope for this program. Cool!")
