kandi X-RAY | theHarvester Summary

theHarvester is a Python library. theHarvester has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has build file available and it has low support. However theHarvester has a Non-SPDX License. You can download it from GitHub.

one of the most popular tools to collect email addresses and other target information during a pen test is theharvester, written by christian martorella @laramies of the edge-security group. the source code can be found here: but it comes with kali by default. motivated by the rewrite of metagoofil, i decided to rewrite theharvester, and update the email collection portion. currently,the dns portion is not included. clone the git repository and install the requirements. the new theharvester offers both the traditional passive and a new active email collection mode. in passive mode, the updated theharvester searches google for pages utilizing the example.com -site:example.com search criteria. this allows the script to passively find emails on sites, like forums, that are not necessarily affiliated with the target domain, because of the - search operator in front of site the active mode searches google for pages utilizing the site:example.com search criteria. the python google package is used to handle all the logic and heavy lifting of accurately searching google for urls. i cover more about the the google package in the metagoofil blog post. once a list of urls from the google search results is retrieved, the script visits each site, and scrapes the page looking for email

Python Error using subprocess without shell=false and variable from an array

Asked 2019-Mar-02 at 23:08

I have the code snippet that works with shell=True which isn't secure and when i attempt to remove shell=True and include shell=False the program errors out

The code is below:

The command is being passed to subprocess.Popen as a string. This works when using shell=True because the shell can accept a command as a single string. But when shell=False, Popen expects the command as a list of arguments, the first one being the full path of the program to run. (This is assuming you're on a POSIX machine, not Windows.)

Essentially, the code says "Run a program called git clone https://github.com/laramies/theHarvester.git with no arguments" instead of "Run git with arguments clone and https://github.com/laramies/theHarvester.git".

The & should also be removed because that is a shell feature and with shell=False it would be passed to git as an argument it won't understand. You don't need it though, since the process will run in the background anyway.

Something like this should work:
