Obtain information from an organization with a single command

Hello! Some time ago I discovered a very useful script to collect information about domains, it is the script “The harvester” (project at https://github.com/laramies/theHarvester), this script is very useful in the phase of collecting information during a pentesting, able to collect all kinds of information from a domain, you can get email addresses hosts, name of the organization:

Installation:

root@host:~# git clone https://github.com/laramies/theHarvester.git
Cloning into 'theHarvester'...
remote: Counting objects: 259, done.
remote: Total 259 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0), pack-reused 259
Receiving objects: 100% (259/259), 110.94 KiB | 0 bytes/s, done.
Resolving deltas: 100% (141/141), done.
Checking connectivity... done.
root@host:~#
root@host:~# cd theHarvester/
root@host:~/theHarvester# 

From the tests I have been doing it is best to get the information in several parts (the “….” are indicators that the text has been cut to not overextend the post):

1- Email accounts, in this example we make find email accounts and hostnames of the company “microsoft” in google :

root@host:~/theHarvester# python theHarvester.py -d micrososft.com -b google
