OSINT - Grimoire

Passive Recon

Collect public-facing data without touching the target: emails, subdomains, exposed services, and leaked credentials all show up here.

theHarvester -d <domain> -b all
shodan search hostname:<domain>
shodan host <IP>

Narrow search results to find exposed files, admin panels, and credentials indexed by Google: add before: date filters to find old cached pages.

site:<domain> filetype:pdf
site:<domain> inurl:admin
site:<domain> "index of"
site:github.com <company> password
site:github.com <company> api_key

CT logs record every issued certificate: a reliable way to find subdomains without touching the target at all.
