Online information gathering resources

[ethicalhack3r]

Hi,
Ive found the following sites invaluable when doing information gathering and thought id share:

Web site information:
http://www.archive.org/
http://whois.domaintools.com/

Personal information:
http://www.pipl.com/
http://www.192.com/ (UK only)
http://www.123people.co.uk/ (UK only)
http://postcode.royalmail.com/ (UK only)

Company information:
http://www.companieshouse.gov.uk/ (UK Only)

Social networks:
http://www.linkedin.com/
http://www.facebook.com/
http://www.twitter.com/

Any others that should be in my list? (apart from google of course)

Nice list Ryan, I’ll add a few I’ve found useful in past:

alexa.com
samsapde.org
myIPneighbors.com

Especially I’ve not seen anything thank replicates myipneighbors’ functionality, handy to make sure you not hitting a service provider for a client rather than the client’s own kit (don’t trust them to know if they own the hardware, check for yourself 😉 )

Any more for any more?

Luckily you have Chris gates here who is the author of one of the best open source info gathering presentations:

And Adrian Crenshaw did a Recon Session below:

Combined they can form a baseline as a value add OSINT report for clients.
