warmd
Warmd is a command line tool that stands for "Web Application Reconnaissance Metadata." Its primary purpose is to collect relevant metadata about a web application. The tool is built in Python and is designed to assist security professionals and penetration testers during the initial phases of an assessment.
When run, warmd automatically collects a wide range of metadata related to the target web application, such as its IP address, DNS records, SSL certificate details, server information, open ports, supported HTTP methods, HTTP headers, and more. It utilizes various techniques, such as DNS zone transfers, HTTP requests, and SSL/TLS handshakes, to gather this information efficiently.
Through its command line interface, warmd offers several options and command arguments to customize the scanning process. For example, users can instruct the tool to perform additional metadata checks, like CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing) and security headers analysis.
The collected metadata is then saved in a structured JSON format that can be easily parsed and used by other tools or scripts. This allows security professionals to automate their assessments and integrate warmd within their existing workflows. Overall, warmd serves as a valuable reconnaissance tool for gathering critical information about a web application quickly and effectively.
