ReconTool v1.0.9 - Professional Artifacts & Normalization

Release Notes - ReconTool v1.0.9

New Features & Improvements

Robust Domain Normalization & Chaos Matching

• Replaced custom split-based domain parsing with standard, secure public suffix analysis using golang.org/x/net/publicsuffix.
• Target domains are normalized case-insensitively and parsed to extract the registerable base domain (e.g., example.com -> example, sub.example.co.uk -> example).
• Subdomains and multiple TLD parts are correctly stripped without affecting the base domain part.

Resilient Pipeline Execution

• Wayback CDX and ProjectDiscovery Chaos lookup stages now execute completely independently.
• HTTP 429 (Too Many Requests) errors and other network failures in one stage do not affect or terminate subsequent stages.
• Output files are consistently created as empty files on query failure to guarantee directory structure predictability.

Safe ZIP Extraction & Merge

• The Chaos dataset downloader now extracts .txt lists by merging them with any existing subdomains, removing duplicates, and writing them safely without overwriting or corrupting prior data.

Concise Standardized Logging

• Console output has been cleaned up. Diagnostic messages now follow a strict prefix format:
  • [STEP] for pipeline phases.
  • [SUCCESS] for successful completions.
  • [INFO] for informational logs.
  • [WARNING] for handled non-fatal errors (e.g., HTTP 429).
  • [ERR] for fatal errors.

Release Artifacts & Naming

• Added automated cross-compilation pipeline script producing standard naming format:
  recontool_<version>_<os>_<architecture>.zip
• Includes SHA256 checksum file:
  recontool_<version>_checksums.txt
