# The Recon-ng Framework [Recon-ng content now available on Pluralsight!](https://app.pluralsight.com/library/courses/technical-information-gathering-recon-ng) Recon-ng is a full-featured reconnaissance framework designed with the goal of providing a powerful environment to conduct open source web-based reconnaissance quickly and thoroughly. Recon-ng has a look and feel similar to the Metasploit Framework, reducing the learning curve for leveraging the framework. However, it is quite different. Recon-ng is not intended to compete with existing frameworks, as it is designed exclusively for web-based open source reconnaissance. If you want to exploit, use the Metasploit Framework. If you want to social engineer, use the Social-Engineer Toolkit. If you want to conduct reconnaissance, use Recon-ng! See the [Wiki](https://github.com/lanmaster53/recon-ng/wiki) to get started. Recon-ng is a completely modular framework and makes it easy for even the newest of Python developers to contribute. See the [Development Guide](https://github.com/lanmaster53/recon-ng/wiki/Development-Guide) for more information on building and maintaining modules. ## Sponsors
