uncover – quickly discover exposed hosts on the internet

Uncover is a command-line reconnaissance tool that helps you discover exposed internet-facing hosts by querying multiple external search engines and asset discovery services from one interface. It is designed for automation workflows, making it easy to feed queries from files or standard input, combine results with other security tools, and quickly surface systems that may warrant further investigation.

This is free and open source software.
