[TUTORIAL] Gathering EMAILS with TheHarvester! - Virg0s - Nov 4, 2020

The Harvester is a tool used to gather information on a target company, I will be showing you how to install it and use it.
The installation: 
  1. First we install python3 ( should already be installed if you consider yourself a hacker ):
    Code
    sudo apt install python3
  2. Then we clone the repo and cd to the cloned directory:
    Code
    git clone https://github.com/laramies/theHarvester/
  3. Now we install the requirements:
    Code
    pip3 install -r requirements.txt
Usage:
You can use this tool with different options, here is an example:
Code
./theHarvester.py -d target.com -l 500 -b all
The -d flag specifies the domain of the target, the l specifies the limit of the gathering, the -b specifies the sources to use to search.

The harvester uses many sources, some of which use API keys, to function, you can add this key by editing the api-keys.yaml.
That is all, hope you found this helpful.
