clone the repository:
$ git clone git://github.com/sham00n/busterOnce you have a copy of the source, you can install it with:
$ cd buster/
$ python3 setup.py install
$ buster -hThis project uses hunter.io to get information from company emails,the first couple "company email" searches dont require a key,if you have an interest in company emails i recommend that you sign up for an account on hunter.io.
Once you get an API key, add it to the file "api-keys.yaml" and rerun the command:
$ python setup.py installusage: buster [-h] [-e EMAIL] [-f FIRST] [-m MIDDLE] [-l LAST] [-b BIRTHDATE]
[-a ADDINFO [ADDINFO ...]] [-u USERNAME] [-c COMPANY]
[-p PROVIDERS [PROVIDERS ...]] [-o OUTPUT] [-v] [--list LIST]
Buster is an OSINT tool used to generate and verify emails and return
information associated with them
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-e EMAIL, --email EMAIL
email adress or email pattern
-f FIRST, --first FIRST
first name
-m MIDDLE, --middle MIDDLE

-l LAST, --last LAST last name
-b BIRTHDATE, --birthdate BIRTHDATE
birthdate in ddmmyyyy format,type * if you dont
know(ex:****1967,3104****)
-a ADDINFO [ADDINFO ...], --addinfo ADDINFO [ADDINFO ...]
additional info to help guessing the
email(ex:king,345981)
-u USERNAME, --username USERNAME
checks 100+ email providers for the availability of
username@provider.com
-c COMPANY, --company COMPANY
company domain
-p PROVIDERS [PROVIDERS ...], --providers PROVIDERS [PROVIDERS ...]
email provider domains
-o OUTPUT, --output OUTPUT
output to a file
-v, --validate check which emails are valid and returns information
of each one
--list LIST file containing list of emails
Get info of a single email(exists or not,social media where email was used,data breaches,pastes and links to where it was found)
$ buster -e target@example.com$ buster --list emails.txtGenerate emails that matches the pattern and checks if they exist or not(use the -a argument if you have more info to add(ex: -a nickname fav_color phone #)
$ buster -e j********9@g****.com -f john -l doe -b ****1989$ buster -f john -m james -l doe -b 13071989 $ buster -f john -m james -l doe -b 13071989 -p gmail.com yahoo.comGenerate 100+ emails in the format username@provider.com and returns the valid ones(use -p if you dont want all 100+)
$ buster -u johndoe$ buster -f john -l doe -c company.com- You get 200 email validations/day,use them wisely!
- When using the -a option,avoid using small words(ex:j,3,66),the shorter the words are the bigger the email list is and therefore more validations are needed
- when adding an email pattern make sure the service providing the pattern displays it with the right size(facebook,twitter,instagram do...others might not)
- I dont recommend using with Tor as haveibeenpwnd.com,hunter.io and google wont function properly
- emailrep.io for being developer friendly
- khast3x,developer of h8mail which was used as a reference for this README file
- The OSINT community for being awesome!
- My Code is ugly,i know...if you know how to do things better let me know!
