Information Gathering Tools
Summary
This is a draft. Comparing various available information gathering tools in Kali and comparing differences to ParrotOS
Requirements
- Operating system: Kali Linux 2021.1 amd64, Parrot Security 4.10 amd64
Disclaimer: all possible examples and tests done have been done in VMWare in a Kali Linux and ParrotOS VM.
Tools
Spiderfoot
Legion
DMitry
DMitry is a CLI to gather information about a host - possible subdomains, uptime information, tcp port scan, email addresses, whois lookups etc. It is mostly used to reveal information that exists through search engines about the owner or host of a web page, i.e. for social engineering attacks.
When using the portscan option, the results show less open ports than doing that same TCP scan with nmap.
HostIP:192.168.0.130
HostName:
Gathered TCP Port information for 192.168.0.130
Port State
23/tcp open
Portscan Finished: Scanned 150 ports, 148 ports were in state closed
To perform a whois lookup, you need either the IP or the domain same.
Nmap
Recon-ng
Maltego
Netdiscover
Ike-scan
