Recon Cockpit by Ali Essam

Recon Cockpit is a browser-overlay reconnaissance tool for authorized web security testing. It does nothing on install and nothing on page load — you open it by clicking the toolbar icon (or Alt+Shift+U), and scanning itself is a separate, explicit "Start Smart Scan" click inside the panel.

A scan runs in phases:
- Passive discovery — collects URLs, endpoints, and script references already present on the page.
- Same-origin crawl — follows links to other pages on the same origin (bounded by a configurable page limit and depth), so parameters and forms spread across a multi-page app are all found, not just the current page.
- Parameter extraction — pulls query/form parameters into a searchable, filterable list, each with a ready-to-copy test URL.
- Reflection testing — on request, sends a unique marker in place of a parameter's value and reports whether it comes back unescaped, HTML-escaped, or URL-encoded in the response.
- Targeted checks — read-only requests to common exposed paths (config files, VCS metadata like .git, credential files, API schemas, backups) on the page's own origin, with automatic false-positive suppression for SPA/catch-all routes that return 200 for everything.

Findings are scored by severity (High/Medium/Low/Info), exportable as JSON or CSV, and copyable as a report. All requests are same-origin only, capped in concurrency, and nothing is sent anywhere outside your browser — no telemetry, no data collection.

Built for penetration testers, bug bounty hunters, and developers auditing their own sites. Use only on systems you own or have explicit permission to test.
