Doxing Explained : Tutorial
Information gathering is one of the Initial steps of any penetration testing project . Information gathering deals with gathering all the information you can gather about your target . This information might be gathered by doing online searches , phone calls , emails or other social engineering . Doxing is a more comprehensive term that explains guidlines on how this information can be gathered about your target .
What is Doxing?
- -IP Address [80% effective, in my opinion its the best way to dox]
- -Email [Not very effective,Useful in getting the victim’s social account]
- -Home/Street Address [Shitty,Almost won’t work with you]
- -Phone number [You may not get anything from that,Bad way]
- -Name [There is 7 billion people in earth,The chances are extremely low to make a site/tool or whatever to determine the person you are looking for]
