Abstract : Technology is growing at an exponential rate, and everything around us from shopping to instant messaging and emails, studies, etc. is getting connected to the Internet and becoming smarter. This enabled reconnaissance (or recon) is a collection of procedures and methods, including enumeration, foot-printing, that are used to covertly discover and acquire information about a target system. The protracted recon process requires utmost attention and precision when it comes to handling the device for inspection. There exists a high risk of tampering with the device while inspecting the interior, requiring the replacement of the device. With FCC ID or chip number extraction using optical character recognition, followed by double-checking with the dataset, the specifically designed web scrapers will help to scrape all the information required, including the vulnerabilities from the web, after which a brief report will be generated. Hence, our proposed system automates the process of reconnaissance, saving time and helps in avoiding risks to an extent.
