Geolocation is the process of identifying the geographical location of an organization or the person based on the digital information given off by their internet-connected device. In the case of the target domain, we can simply provide the IP address and get the Geo-Location of the domain. This can be done through automated processes or tools. Geo-Recon is an automated tool developed in the Python language which is a CLI-based tool. Geo-Recon tool is an OSINT CLI tool designed to fast track IP Reputation and Geo-location look-up for Security Analysts. Geo-Recon tool can perform a Nmap scan on the target IP for more information gathering. Geo-Location tool is available on the GitHub platform, it’s open-source and free-to-use.
