Description

  • Clarified the responsibilities of overlapping HTTP reconnaissance plugins.
  • Updated httpx metadata to emphasize live host probing, status checks, title extraction, and technology fingerprinting.
  • Updated website-recon-2 metadata to emphasize broader website reconnaissance and application stack identification.
  • Updated PLUGINS.md catalog descriptions to clearly distinguish plugin ownership boundaries and intended use cases.
  • No functional changes were made; this is a documentation/metadata clarification refactor.

Type of Change

  • Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
  • New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
  • Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing functionality to not work as expected)
  • Documentation update

How Has This Been Tested?

Manual verification:

Get-Content plugins/httpx/metadata.json
Get-Content plugins/website-recon-2/metadata.json
Get-Content PLUGINS.md | Select-String "httpx|Website Recon|HTTP Inspector"
git diff --stat

Verified that:

  • httpx and website-recon-2 now have clearly differentiated descriptions.
  • Plugin catalog reflects the updated responsibilities.
  • No command templates, parsers, or runtime behavior were modified.
