Ivre

Abstract

1. Introduction

The names IVRE and DRUNK have been chosen as a tribute to "Le Taullier".

IVRE's documentation is hosted by Read The Docs, based on files from the doc/ directory of the repository.

On a system with IVRE installed, you can use a --help option with most IVRE CLI tools, and help(ivre.module) with most IVRE Python sub-modules.

2. Objective

Network recon framework. Build your own, self-hosted and fully-controlled alternatives to Shodan / ZoomEye / Censys and GreyNoise, run your Passive DNS service, build your taylor-made EASM tool, collect and analyse network intelligence from your sensors, and much more! Uses Nmap, Masscan, Zeek, p0f, ProjectDiscovery tools, etc.

This project demonstrates how Python can be applied to a real-world Cybersecurity & Ethical Hacking problem.
