| Cookies          | Standard analytics and tracking cookies,                                                                                                              |
| Ownership        | Public ownership information is limited.                                                                                                              |
| Use in Reporting | Useful for documenting website infrastructure, exposed technologies, hosting details, and technical metadata as supporting evidence in OSINT reports. |

### What does Tiny Scan do?

Tiny Scan performs passive-style website reconnaissance and technical fingerprinting. It collects publicly accessible information about a website and is best used for discovering previously scanned infrastructure and related domains.&#x20;

Typical outputs include:

* DNS records
* IP addresses
* SSL/TLS certificate data
* HTTP response headers
* Hosting/provider details
* CDN detection
* Web server information
* Technology stack fingerprinting
* Basic website metadata

**The lowdown:** It’s a simple but effective reconnaissance tool for quickly profiling websites and gathering technical OSINT.

**Note:** Because scans are publicly viewable, Tiny Scan can also unintentionally become a source of investigative exposure. If you scan a sensitive target, others may be able to see that activity later.&#x20;

### How to Use:

**1. Visit the Tiny Scan website and enter a domain or URL into the search bar.**

**2. Launch the scan and review the generated technical intelligence report. Explore related infrastructure, certificates, technologies, and exposed metadata.**

### Cost

* [x] Free
* [ ] Partially Free
* [ ] Paid

## Data Processing

### Account Required:

* [ ] Yes
* [x] No

### Cookies:&#x20;

Tiny Scan uses standard analytics and tracking cookies, including Google Analytics identifiers and session-related tracking cookies, likely for visitor analytics, performance monitoring, and maintaining user sessions.

### Use in Reporting

Tiny Scan is useful for:

* Technical attribution support.
* Infrastructure profiling.
* Website fingerprinting.
* Documenting exposed metadata.
* Verifying hosting and server changes.
* Supporting investigative timelines.
* Capturing publicly visible technical indicators.

It therefore particularly lends itself to phishing investigations, cyber threat intelligence, and fraud investigations.

| Quickly gathers technical info about a target website in seconds.                   | Searches and scans may be visible to others, creating OPSEC concerns.                   |
| Detects frameworks, CMS platforms, web servers, CDNs, and security services.        | Limited historical intelligence.                                                        |
| Displays certificate details which may reveal infrastructure links/related domains. | Relies mainly on publicly exposed information and cannot uncover hidden infrastructure. |
| Shows DNS records, resolved IP addresses, and hosting-related information.          | Potential attribution errors if analysed incorrectly.                                   |
| HTTP header inspection.                                                             | Feature set is relatively lightweight.                                                  |
| Allows users to explore previously scanned websites and infrastructure connections. | Results vary depending on how much technical information the website exposes publicly.  |

### Summary

Tiny Scan is best used during the early reconnaissance phase to quickly profile a website’s infrastructure, technologies, and exposed technical metadata before deeper investigation.&#x20;

**Note:** Analysts should clearly state that findings are based on publicly accessible web infrastructure data.

### Ownership

Not publicly disclosed.

### Ethical Considerations

* Remember that scans are publicly visible.
* Avoid scanning sensitive targets using personally attributable infrastructure.
* Consider OPSEC before investigating high-risk entities.
* Do not rely on a single scan result for attribution.
* Respect local laws, platform terms, and responsible investigation practices.
* Use findings as supporting intelligence, not standalone proof.
