GitHub Codespaces as a free cloud recon box
Turn a Codespace into a disposable Linux box in the browser — install Subfinder and friends and run recon with zero local setup.
My most-watched tutorial. I show how GitHub Codespaces doubles as a free, disposable cloud Linux environment — perfect for running security tooling without touching your own machine.
What the video covers
- What Codespaces is, explained simply.
- Using the built-in shell to install command-line tools like Subfinder.
- Running recon workflows entirely in the cloud, from a browser or VS Code.
- Why a throwaway environment is ideal for tooling you don't want cluttering (or fingerprinting) your local box.
Why it resonated
It hit a nerve because it removes the biggest friction for beginners: environment setup. You can be running real tools within minutes, on someone else's compute, and throw it all away when you're done.
