What is this?A curated list of search engines useful for penetration testing, vulnerability assessment, red/blue team operations, bug bounty hunting, and general OSINT work.
Is this a tool or just a list of links?It's a markdown-based awesome-list: just categorized links to external search engines, no software to run.
How is the list organized?Entries are grouped into categories like General, Servers, Vulnerabilities, Exploits, Attack Surface, Code, Email addresses, Domains, DNS, Certificates, WiFi networks, Credentials, and more, each with a short description of what the engine searches for.
Where should a beginner start?Start with the 'General Search Engines' section (Google, Shodan-style engines, DuckDuckGo, etc.) and move to specialized categories like Vulnerabilities or Exploits based on what you're hunting for.
Are entries vetted and kept current?The repo uses automated CI checks (duplicate detection and link checking) to keep entries valid, but most listed services are third-party and can change pricing or availability independently of this list.
Are the listed search engines free to use?Mixed: many like Shodan, Censys, and NIST NVD offer free tiers or public access, but several (e.g. FOFA, Quake, ZoomEye) are commercial platforms requiring paid plans for full features.
What kinds of targets can I search for?Servers, vulnerabilities (CVEs), exploits, attack surface data, source code, email addresses, domains, DNS records, certificates, WiFi networks, credentials, leaks, and more, each with a dedicated category of specialized search engines.
Is this list specific to one type of security work?No, it spans multiple disciplines: pentesting, bug bounty hunting, red/blue team ops, threat intelligence, and general OSINT reconnaissance.
What are similar projects?awesome-osint, Sn1per, Offensive-Security-AI-Models, awesome-honeypots, nuclei-templates, OSINT-Framework, bbot, awesome-web-security
Which topics is it in?redteaming, vulnerabilities, osint-tool, cve, hacking-tools, bugbounty, information-gathering, threat-intelligence, redteam, awesome-lists, reconnaissance, vulnerability-scanner
