1
00:00:00,110 --> 00:00:06,080
At this stage, you should be able to easily find online accounts associated with a specific target.

2
00:00:06,110 --> 00:00:10,670
However, online accounts don't always translate to email addresses.

3
00:00:11,270 --> 00:00:18,950
Having a target's email address is crucial for ethical hackers and pentesters, as it serves as a communication

4
00:00:18,950 --> 00:00:21,740
channel for social engineering attacks.

5
00:00:22,490 --> 00:00:29,510
In addition to that, an email address is a unique identifier that belongs to one person, unlike a

6
00:00:29,510 --> 00:00:33,350
name that could be associated to multiple individuals.

7
00:00:34,160 --> 00:00:40,580
Once we have an email address, we can use Osint techniques to extract even more information about the

8
00:00:40,580 --> 00:00:44,930
target, and we will be sure that this information is accurate.

9
00:00:45,140 --> 00:00:51,170
So we will start by using custom search operators to check if an email address is already indexed by

10
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:52,190
search engines.

11
00:00:52,220 --> 00:00:59,600
Then I'll teach you various Osint techniques to find email addresses associated with a specific target.

12
00:01:00,350 --> 00:01:06,530
Once you obtain an email address, I'll show you how you can find detailed information about the email

13
00:01:06,530 --> 00:01:11,990
itself, such as its registration details, online reviews, and reputation.

14
00:01:11,990 --> 00:01:17,390
By the end of this section, not only will you be an expert at discovering email addresses, but you'll

15
00:01:17,390 --> 00:01:23,270
also be able to leverage email addresses to dig deeper into the target's online presence, enhancing

16
00:01:23,270 --> 00:01:26,120
your overall investigative capabilities.

17
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:32,870
Whether you are tracing the origins of an email or preparing for a social engineering campaign, these

18
00:01:32,870 --> 00:01:37,160
techniques will be essential tools in your Osint toolkit.
