Partial Recon tooling wraps existing open-source OSINT scanners and the interface is buildable. Windows forensic evidence collection that is sound enough to be trusted in investigations requires real DFIR expertise.
What it would actually take: The recon side wraps tools like Nmap, Subfinder and certificate-transparency sources behind a dashboard. The KAGE side needs parsing of Windows artifacts (event logs, registry, prefetch, MFT) with correct chain-of-custody and integrity handling. Building it credibly requires a digital forensics and incident response background and testing against known-compromise datasets.
