What is lolyz-automation-tool-for-reconnaissance?

LOLYZ, also called Lord of the Lollies: Year Zero, is a small Bash script that wraps three well known security scanning tools, nmap, ffuf, and nikto, into a single command. Instead of running each tool separately during the early stage of a web security check, you run one script and it handles port and service scanning, directory and content discovery, and basic web server vulnerability checks in sequence. Before using it, you need nmap, ffuf, and nikto already installed and available on your system's command path, and the README gives install commands for both Arch Linux and Debian or Ubuntu based systems, noting that ffuf and nikto come from the Arch User Repository on Arch. It also recommends pairing the tool with SecLists, a popular open collection of wordlists, to get better results out of ffuf's content discovery. Usage is a single command pointing at a target, with one documented flag, a silent mode that suppresses the tool's banner output for cleaner logs. The author describes this project plainly as a personal learning exercise built right after finishing a beginner Bash scripting course, done to test their own skills rather than as a professional security product, and says they are not pursuing a scripting career from it. The README also discloses that some features, like timestamped logging, and several bug fixes were built with help from Claude, an AI assistant, to make the tool safer and more convenient. The project welcomes contributions and pull requests, and the author lists several areas that could use improvement, including better error handling, more scan profiles, and configuration file support. The project is released under the MIT license.
