What does a company's public footprint say about its products and stack?

Public records already describe a lot about a company: subdomains reveal products and regions, certificates reveal launch dates, archived URLs show what pages existed, and fingerprinting shows the stack. This job lists passive tools only, which read third-party sources and never send traffic to the company's systems.

Before you start

  • Passive tools only. Port scans, brute-force DNS, crawling and probing another company's systems need its permission.
  • Read public information, never access anything behind a login, paywall or access control.
  • Follow the terms of service of every data source the tools query.
