Tiny Scan
Tool Description : Scans a website, pulling valuable information including SSL certificates, records, web technologies and HTTP headers in an easy-to-use web interface.
Tiny Scan
Quick Overview
What it does
Collects publicly accessible information about a website and presents it in an easy-to-read format.
How to use it
Enter a domain into the search bar, launch the scan, and review results.
Cost
Free.
Account required
No.
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.
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.
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.

Cookies:
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.
Capabilities
Limitations
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.
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.
