What is TheHarvester ?
The Harvester can also pull up associated domains and hostnames of a target. We are able to probe for more information about the domain, subdomain, and organization. In this case, we learned about a hostname IP.
You can sometimes run:
>> apt-get theharvester
and Kali will fetch this for you, but in my case, it didn't work. So instead, clone it directly and confirm the installation by running the following in terminal.
So letus Try Another Method To Install The Harvester:
>>git clone https://github.com/laramies/theHarvester.git
>>cd theHarvester
>>sudo python ./theHarvester.py
With each command, theHarvester will run searches on multiple platforms to find email addresses and websites related to the organization or domain you specify.To initiate a harvester search, you'll need to spell out a couple variables for the script to understand.
>>theharvester
Usage: theharvester options
-d: Domain to search or company name
-b: data source: google, googleCSE, bing, bingapi, pgp, linkedin,
google-profiles, jigsaw, twitter, googleplus, all
-s: Start in result number X (default: 0)
-v: Verify host name via dns resolution and search for virtual hosts
-f: Save the results into an HTML and XML file (both)
-n: Perform a DNS reverse query on all ranges discovered
-c: Perform a DNS brute force for the domain name
-t: Perform a DNS TLD expansion discovery
-e: Use this DNS server
-l: Limit the number of results to work with(bing goes from 50 to 50 results,
google 100 to 100, and pgp doesn't use this option)
-h: use SHODAN database to query discovered hosts
Examples:
theharvester -d microsoft.com -l 500 -b google -h myresults.html
theharvester -d microsoft.com -b pgp
theharvester -d microsoft -l 200 -b linkedin
theharvester -d apple.com -b googleCSE -l 500 -s 300
The most simple search you can run looks like this:
>> theHarvester.py -d hackerscreed.com -b all -l 200
In the script, we're telling it to pull from all data sources and to limit the results to 200 results.
Installing TheHarvester on Kali Linux ?
You can sometimes run:
>> apt-get theharvester
and Kali will fetch this for you, but in my case, it didn't work. So instead, clone it directly and confirm the installation by running the following in terminal.
So letus Try Another Method To Install The Harvester:
>>git clone https://github.com/laramies/theHarvester.git
>>cd theHarvester
>>sudo python ./theHarvester.py

theharvester -d microsoft.com -b pgp
theharvester -d microsoft -l 200 -b linkedin
theharvester -d apple.com -b googleCSE -l 500 -s 300
Searching For Emails Using TheHarvester:
The most simple search you can run looks like this:
>> theHarvester.py -d hackerscreed.com -b all -l 200
In the script, we're telling it to pull from all data sources and to limit the results to 200 results.
Moving to Advanced Stuff:
Using the -s argument to ignore false-hits within the first few results by specifying how far back in the results can help, as can running a deep scan of 1,000–5,000 results on each engine individually, can yield additional data on a target.you can save them to an HTML file using the -f option followed by the name to save the file as.
