For example, in the case of uncover -f https://ip:port/version, ip:port will be replaced with results in the output while keeping the format defined, It can also be used to specify a known scheme/path/file in order to prepare the output so that it can be immediately passed as input to other tools in the pipeline.

echo kubernetes | uncover -f https://ip:port/version -silent

https://35.222.229.38:443/version
https://52.11.181.228:443/version
https://35.239.255.1:443/version

https://130.211.54.173:443/version
https://54.184.250.232:443/version

Output of uncover can be further piped to other projects in workflow accepting stdin as input, for example:

  • uncover -q example -f ip | naabu - Runs naabu for port scanning on the found host.
  • uncover -q title:GitLab | httpx - Runs httpx for web server probing the found result.
  • uncover -q 51.83.59.99/24 | httpx - Runs httpx on host/ports obtained from shodan-internetdb.
uncover -q http.title:GitLab -silent | httpx -silent
