FullHunt is an attack surface management platform that continuously discovers and monitors internet-exposed assets. It combines host discovery, technology detection, and vulnerability identification into a unified dashboard. MAGO is a domain intelligence platform with automated OSINT reconnaissance. Both focus on understanding external exposure, but with different approaches and target audiences.
What FullHunt Does
FullHunt maintains its own internet scanning infrastructure that maps the global attack surface. It discovers hosts, identifies technologies, detects vulnerabilities, and monitors for changes. The platform provides an API-first approach to attack surface data, making it popular with security teams that integrate ASM data into their existing workflows and SOAR platforms.
FullHunt's exposure detection covers common vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and exposed services. The platform provides a clean, modern interface with real-time search across its host database and supports both domain-based and IP-based asset discovery.
What MAGO Does
MAGO chains multiple OSINT sources into automated domain intelligence workflows. Starting from a domain name, it discovers subdomains, enumerates DNS records, analyzes WHOIS data, searches certificate transparency logs, audits HTTP headers, fingerprints technology stacks, and checks threat intelligence feeds. The automated spell chaining produces comprehensive reports without requiring manual query construction.
MAGO focuses on depth of analysis per domain rather than breadth of internet coverage. Each scan produces a detailed intelligence report with severity ratings, compliance assessments, and remediation guidance.

Pros and Cons
FullHunt Pros
- Own scanning infrastructure for continuous internet monitoring
- Real-time attack surface discovery and change detection
- API-first design integrates well with security workflows
- Clean, modern interface with powerful search
- Active vulnerability detection beyond passive indicators
FullHunt Cons
- Pricing not publicly listed for most tiers
- Less depth in DNS, WHOIS, and certificate analysis
- No automated intelligence report generation
- Smaller internet index compared to Censys or Shodan
- Limited threat intelligence integration
MAGO Pros
- Deeper domain intelligence with WHOIS, DNS, and certificate analysis
- Automated spell chaining produces coherent intelligence reports
- Transparent pricing accessible to individuals and small teams
- Integrated threat intelligence from multiple feeds
- Actionable reports with severity ratings and remediation steps
MAGO Cons
- No own scanning infrastructure for continuous internet monitoring
- Passive approach cannot detect all exposures that active scanning finds
- Per-scan model rather than continuous monitoring
- Newer platform with smaller data footprint
The Verdict
FullHunt is a solid choice for teams that need continuous attack surface monitoring with their own scanning infrastructure and API-first integration. MAGO is the better choice for teams that need deep domain intelligence with automated reporting and transparent pricing. For organizations that need both continuous monitoring and deep per-domain intelligence, the tools complement each other: FullHunt for always-on surface monitoring, MAGO for detailed domain investigation and compliance reporting.
