1
00:00:00,110 --> 00:00:07,160
Next, I would like to show you how can you generate a list of possible email addresses that belong

2
00:00:07,190 --> 00:00:08,840
to a certain person?

3
00:00:09,140 --> 00:00:14,330
So let's say that you are looking for someone called Saad Siraj.

4
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:23,450
A possible email address might be S and then Siraj at gmail yahoo.com or Saad and then s which is the

5
00:00:23,450 --> 00:00:25,220
first letter of the last name.

6
00:00:25,220 --> 00:00:32,690
And then add domain Name.com or Saad Siraj or Saad Siraj at example.com.

7
00:00:32,690 --> 00:00:39,410
So we need to generate a list and then exclude all email addresses that are not valid that cannot receive

8
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:40,010
emails.

9
00:00:40,010 --> 00:00:46,070
And then we might guess what email address belongs to the person that we are looking for.

10
00:00:46,430 --> 00:00:49,190
Now let me show you a real life example.

11
00:00:49,190 --> 00:00:57,080
I'm going to use what's called an email permutata, which will allow me to generate a list of possible

12
00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:58,220
email addresses.

13
00:00:58,430 --> 00:01:04,190
So since we are looking for Rishi Kabra, I'm going to say that the first name is Rishi and the last

14
00:01:04,220 --> 00:01:05,330
name is Kabra.

15
00:01:05,330 --> 00:01:10,590
And if the person has any middle name or nickname, then we can add it in here.

16
00:01:10,590 --> 00:01:14,070
In our case, the middle name of Rishi Kapoor is Raj.

17
00:01:14,190 --> 00:01:15,240
Like this.

18
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:21,720
And then we can add the domain name so we can say at gmail.com, or we can add more domains.

19
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,630
So at hotmail.com or at yahoo.com.

20
00:01:25,620 --> 00:01:30,720
So after this you are going to generate this list by clicking on permutate.

21
00:01:31,980 --> 00:01:36,090
And this is the list with 92 possible emails.

22
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:42,150
I'm going to copy all of the email addresses and then put them in my notepad.

23
00:01:43,740 --> 00:01:52,290
And since I know that Rishi Kabra email starts with R, so if we looked at his Facebook account, we

24
00:01:52,290 --> 00:01:56,160
can see that his email address start with R and ends with two.

25
00:01:56,160 --> 00:02:02,670
And obviously none of these emails ends with number two because we didn't define this before.

26
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:09,000
But this is only an example when you are searching for someone's email that uses only his first or last

27
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:15,250
name, or a certain nickname or first, middle name and last name, etc..

28
00:02:15,640 --> 00:02:20,110
So right now we need to exclude all email addresses.

29
00:02:20,110 --> 00:02:26,860
That does not start with R and r hotmail.com because we can see that he's using a gmail.com.

30
00:02:26,860 --> 00:02:34,540
And now I only have 29 email addresses that are only gmail.com that start with the letter R.

31
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:40,990
So the next step is to verify which email address is valid and which email address is not valid.

32
00:02:41,410 --> 00:02:50,770
So I'm going to copy the list and then go to Gmail and then compose an email and then paste all the

33
00:02:50,770 --> 00:02:51,640
emails.

34
00:02:51,910 --> 00:02:55,930
So Ctrl A to select all and then Ctrl C.

35
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,870
And here I'm going to say Ctrl V to paste.

36
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:07,810
Now as you can see we were able to find some profile pictures and all the accounts or email addresses

37
00:03:07,810 --> 00:03:09,160
that have a profile.

38
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,770
Pictures are valid email addresses.

39
00:03:12,070 --> 00:03:19,700
Not only that, but if we have hovered over a certain email address that does not have a profile picture.

40
00:03:19,700 --> 00:03:27,500
From my experience, if the profile picture is blue like this, this does mean that this is an invalid

41
00:03:27,500 --> 00:03:34,430
email address, especially that it uses an underscore because Gmail does not support using underscore

42
00:03:34,430 --> 00:03:35,810
in its emails.

43
00:03:36,380 --> 00:03:44,150
But if we have looked at another email like this one, this email address cannot be used because it's

44
00:03:44,150 --> 00:03:44,930
very short.

45
00:03:44,930 --> 00:03:51,830
So if you have tried to create a Gmail account and you have only added 5 or 6 letters, then you will

46
00:03:51,860 --> 00:03:55,790
be asked to enter more letters to create an email address.

47
00:03:56,090 --> 00:03:58,640
And Gmail does not use minuses.

48
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,910
It only accepts dots in its emails.

49
00:04:01,910 --> 00:04:08,360
So all of these emails has to be removed that contain an underscore or a hyphen.

50
00:04:08,990 --> 00:04:15,350
So we already know that Rishi Kabra email address ends with 132, which is why it's not displayed in

51
00:04:15,350 --> 00:04:15,950
here.

52
00:04:15,950 --> 00:04:21,380
But what you can do is always generate a list with his usernames.

53
00:04:21,380 --> 00:04:25,710
For example, you can say Rishi Kabra Cobra 132.

54
00:04:25,740 --> 00:04:27,660
Like this and leave this empty.

55
00:04:27,690 --> 00:04:30,810
Only add the space and remove this.

56
00:04:31,110 --> 00:04:32,820
And then say Permutate.

57
00:04:33,270 --> 00:04:37,770
And this will generate possible email addresses with the username.

58
00:04:39,150 --> 00:04:45,660
Another easy method that you can use is by using a website called Expekt.com.

59
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:47,760
So let me show you an example.

60
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,550
You will find the link in the resources of this lecture.

61
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,910
All you have to do is to enter the person's name.

62
00:04:53,910 --> 00:05:02,550
So let's say Rishi Kabra like this and then say add gmail.com and then click on find email.

63
00:05:02,550 --> 00:05:05,910
And this will also generate a list of possible emails.

64
00:05:05,910 --> 00:05:13,020
And the cool thing is, this website will also check whether these email addresses are valid or not.

65
00:05:13,020 --> 00:05:17,490
So we can only copy the email addresses that are valid.

66
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:24,660
So in this lecture, you have learned how you can generate a list of possible email addresses and then

67
00:05:24,660 --> 00:05:31,830
how you can verify this list of email addresses to see what email address is valid and what is not.
