Another tool that I would like to show you is called Phone Infocomm.
Now in a previous lecture, we have seen how we can use a custom Google talk to search whether a phone
number is indexed in Google or not.
So instead of using a custom search operator to search for a phone number manually, we can use phone
Fouga to do this for us.
So phone Infocomm is basically a tool to gather information about phone numbers by generating different
Google dorks that we can use immediately.
So it will check whether a phone number is valid and will gather basic information about a phone number,
and it will check in reputation reports, social media account, and disposable numbers.
So the first thing you want to do is to go to your Osint virtual machine, and then you want to click
on the URL that you will find in the resources of this lecture.
So I'm going to scroll down and here is the installation command.
All I have to do is just to copy it like this and open the terminal as root.
And then I'm going to paste this command and hit enter.
And now the tool has been downloaded and installed.
Next I can use this command.
I can copy this command to run from a folder from my terminal without typing the full path.
So I'm going to copy it and paste it and hit enter.
And now we are done.
So to use font info all you have to do just to type font info and then minus h to see the options.
So you can use the scan option to search for a phone number using the command line interface.
But I always like to use the serve option because it will allow me to search for a phone number from
a graphical user interface.
So I'm going to say font info and then serve and then hit enter.
And now I'm going to open my browser and open a new tab and add my local IP address which is 127001
along with the port number which is 5000.
I'm going to hit enter.
And now all I have to do is just to select the country.
So in this case I'm going to say Germany like this.
and I'm going to search for this phone number.
This is a mobile phone number of a car dealership.
So I'm going to copy this number.
Like this.
And go to phone info and add the phone number and click on lookup.
So we can see that this phone number is valid.
And we can see the local format and the international format and the country where this phone is from.
Now we already know that this phone number is from Germany, but these are only basic information.
If you scroll down, we can see the scanners that you can use.
And if you would like to use other scanners like GNOME verify or the Edge or Google CSC, then you need
to specify or add an API code.
But for me, Google search is always enough.
So I'm going to say run.
And now it's going to generate multiple Google Docs.
So if you would like to search whether this phone number has been posted on social media, then you
can click on this arrow.
And then I'm going to click on zero.
And we can see the Google doc that's going to be used, which will search whether this phone number
has been found in one of Facebook posts.
I can also click on number one to see another Google Doc, which will search in twitter.com.
Number two will search in LinkedIn and so on.
Now for me, I always like to use the general search operator because this will search for the phone
number and Google search engine.
So I'm just going to click on this one.
And we can see that the phone number is going to be searched for in multiple formats.
And all I have to do is just to click on this URL, which will redirect me to Google to find more information
about this car dealership.
And here we can see that there is a place called Frankfurt Auto Trade.
And this is the address.
And he uses this phone number.
Now I can come back and use the second search operator to see if I can find anything inside of a document,
and we can see that we didn't find anything.
So using phone info is very simple.
All you have to do just to add the phone number, select the country code and use all of these search
operators and you might be able to find this phone number indexed by Google.
