OSINT Employee's

Making reconnaisannce to employees in the company

OSINT

Wikipedia

  • While we typically wonโ€™t find email addresses on a companyโ€™s Wikipedia page, we can find other helpful information such as number of employees and names of high-ranking employees (C-Level employees, board members, etc).

  • Another bit of information we look for on Wikipedia are recent awards or recognition.

Hunter.io

  • Compiles email addresses from open-source intelligence gathering and makes them searchable by domain.

LinkedInt

  • To begin employee enumeration through LinkedIn, we start with the tool LinkedInt.

  • LinkedInt uses a combination of LinkedIn API calls and Hunter.io searches to find the correct company.

  • The tool then finds LinkedIn profiles registered with the domain you originally searched for and generates an HTML page with profile picture, name, email address, and job title.

Peasant

  • Peasant has a lot of the same functionality of LinkedInt but also provides functionality to blanket a company with connection requests and spoof your profile to look like another.

Public Breach Data

  • Attackers will often sell or distribute email and password combinations once a website or company has been breached.

  • Eventually, the data ends up on torrent sites, forums, and sites like HaveIBeenPwned, Dehashed, and Pastebin.
