Harvesting Email Address (Part-1)

Today we will learn about harvesting email address from any domain. For this you need Kali Linux or Backtrack, if you don't have any of this then first install them on your virtual machine (recommended). Refer to my earlier post on how to install Kali Linux or Backtrack.

Step 1: Start your Kali Linux machine.

Step 2: Open terminal.

Step 3: Type:   theharvester

            Here you will come to see many options on using this.

Step 4: To harvest email address from a site: victimsite.com... 

            Type: theharvester -d victimsite.com -b google

            Here we have chosen Google to harvest site. You can choose any other option like Linkedin, Bing, pgp or even all by just typing all.

Step 5: If you want more of the result you can use -l option. It restricts on how many result you want to see. By default its 100 for Google and 50 for Bing. 

            Type: theharvester -d victimsite.com -l 500 -b google
