Overview
hunter is an incredibly popular tool for identifying emails in the OSINT community, and supports what is commonly the first step in a Person of Interest (POI) investigation: finding a target person’s email.
hunter analyses millions of websites to index and return the most up to date business data.
Using the name of a person and a domain name, investigators can find the professional email of a target person as well as a confidence score. If the email address is displayed online, the source location/s are also returned.
Maltego Enterprise users are afforded exclusive out-of-the-box access to 50 email searches and 100 email verifications per month.
