Red Hawk is a free and open-source tool available on GitHub. Red Hawk is used to scanning websites for information gathering and finding vulnerabilities. Red Hawk is written in PHP. It uses PHP script to do reconnaissance. Red Hawk is so powerful that it can detect content management system while scanning, it can detect IP address, it can detect webserver record, it can detect Cloudflare information, and can detect robots.txt. Red Hawk can detect WordPress, Drupal, Joomla, and Magento CMS. Red Hawk looks for error-based SQL injections, WordPress sensitive files, and WordPress version-related vulnerabilities. RedHawk uses different modules for doing all the scannings. WHOIS data collection gives us information about Geo-IP lookup, Banner grabbing, DNS lookup, port scanning, sub-domain information, reverse IP, and MX records lookup.
