How to extract email address from a domain name

[parad0x]

In this tut,I'll show you how to get email address from a domain using one of the modules of metasploit named "Search Engine Domain Email Address Collector". I'll be using msfconsole in backtrack.This module uses Google, Bing and Yahoo to create a list of valid email addresses for the target domain.In this example I'll perform this scan against www.mediafire.com

Benefits?
For the non-legitimate uses,you can extract the email address from a specified domain and then hijack the domain by hacking his email-id.

Now,let's do it.
Step 1: Open Terminal and run msfconsole.
Step 2: Type search collector.
This'll look like this..


Step 3: Type use auxiliary/gather/search_email_collector to use the auxiliary.
Step 4: Now we'll have to set the domain of which we are going to find the email-address(In this case,it is mediafire.com).To set domain,type set domain mediafire.com
Step 5: Type exploit to run the scan.You can use run also instead of exploit.



All the emails are that are found are...


Enjoy!!!

Well, that's one way to do it. I prefer Google hunting with wildcards, but this is faster. Thanks for sharing.

Seen before but still a good tut. It does basically use Google and several other sources to scrape emails but much quicker IMo than manually doing it. +1
