Configure your tools

Set up your preferred security tools and scanning options through the configuration interface (F10) or by editing the JSON configuration file directly.

QtRecon comes with a default configuration including common tools like nmap, nikto, feroxbuster, and nuclei. Customize these to match your workflow.

Run your first scan

Launch a network scan by entering target IP addresses or ranges, selecting scan options, and letting QtRecon automatically run configured tools when ports are discovered.

# Example: Run Nmap scan on a target
nmap -sS -T3 -v --min-rate 500 192.168.1.0/24

View scan results

Scan results appear in real-time in the QtRecon interface, organized by host and port. Each discovered service can trigger autorun programs based on your configuration.
