## Description

EyeWitness is a web reconnaissance framework used to identify infrastructure and software versions across multiple websites through automated headless browser scans. It functions as an HTTP website screenshotter and a security reporting tool that captures visual snapshots and server headers from a list of web targets.

The system distinguishes itself by combining visual documentation with security analysis. It generates searchable HTML reports that categorize website screenshots and metadata by content system or device type, while simultaneously performing server header analysis to determine underlying infrastructure.

The framework also includes tools for access control verification and target management. It can identify insecure access points by checking web interfaces against known default credentials and processes target lists imported from text files or scan reports. Resource usage optimization is included to monitor memory and disk space during operations.
