# Passive Reconnaissance Knowledge Base

Passive reconnaissance gathers intelligence **without directly interacting with the target's systems**. This leaves no logs, no alerts, and no fingerprints on the target. Always exhaust passive methods before transitioning to active techniques.

## Quick Reference — Copy-Paste Commands
