BBOT : The Next-Gen Recursive Internet Scanner For Ethical Hackers

BBOT (Bighuge BLS OSINT Tool) is a recursive internet scanner inspired by Spiderfoot, but designed to be faster, more reliable, and friendlier to pentesters, bug bounty hunters, and developers.

Special features include:

  • Support for Multiple Targets
  • Web Screenshots
  • Suite of Offensive Web Modules
  • AI-powered Subdomain Mutations
  • Native Output to Neo4j (and more)
  • Python API + Developer Documentation

Comparison To Other Tools

BBOT consistently finds 20-50% more subdomains than other tools. The bigger the domain, the bigger the difference. To learn how this is possible, see How It Works.
