theHarvester 2.2a Coded by Christian Martorella cmartorella@edge-security.com
theHarvester is a tool for gathering e-mail accounts, subdomain names, virtual hosts, open ports/ banners, and employee names from different public sources (search engines, pgp key servers).
Is a really simple tool, but very effective for the early stages of a penetration test or just to know the visibility of your company in the Internet.
The actual sources are:
-google: google search engine - www.google.com
-google-profiles: google search engine, specific search for Google profiles
-bing: microsoft search engine - www.bing.com
-bingapi: microsoft search engine, through the API (you need to add your Key in the discovery/bingsearch.py file)
-pgp: pgp key server - pgp.rediris.es
-linkedin: google search engine, specific search for Linkedin users
-shodan: Shodan Computer search engine, will search for ports and banner of the discovered hosts (http://www.shodanhq.com/)
-vhost: Bing virtual hosts search
-DNS brute force: this plugin will run a dictionary brute force enumeration -DNS reverse lookup: reverse lookup of ip´s discovered in order to find hostnames -DNS TDL expansion: TLD dictionary brute force enumeration
none
-Fixed Linkedin parser (thanks Alton Johnson and Francesco Stillavato) -New banner with superpowers
-Added Jigsaw (www.jigsaw.com) -Added 123People (www.123people.com) -Added limit to google searches as the maximum results we can obtain is 1000 -Removed SET, as service was discontinued by Google -Fixed parser to remove wrong results like emails starting with @
-DNS Bruteforcer -DNS Reverse lookups -DNS TDL Expansion -SHODAN DB integration -HTML report -DNS server selection
-Complete rewrite, more modular and easy to maintain -New sources (Exalead, Google-Profiles, Bing-Api) -Time delay between request, to prevent search engines from blocking our IP´s -You can start the search from the results page that you want, hence you can resume a search -Export to xml -All search engines harvesting
