Let's recap what we have learned in this section.
In this section, we have learned how we can find information about any phone number, whether it's
a US phone number or an international phone number.
The first thing that we have done is that we have searched whether this phone number is indexed by search
engines or not, and if you weren't able to find this phone number in search engines, then you can
use color ID identifiers like True Color Sync, me, and NUM Lookup.
Most of the times you will get a name back, but if you weren't able to get a name back and you are
searching for a US phone number, then you can search in people.
Search engines like true People search true people search has a huge database of US residents.
You will not only be able to see the current owner of this phone number, instead, you'll also be able
to see the previous owners of this phone number.
But if you have an international phone number and you cannot use people search engines, then you can
try and search for this phone number on multiple websites like Epos or Synth Industries and Gastric.
This will give you an idea on which websites the phone number is registered on.
So if you were able to see that this phone number is associated to an Instagram account, then this
means that you need to go to Instagram and try and find the person's Instagram account.
In addition to that, you can use Signal Higher browser extension to see whether a phone number is linked
to a LinkedIn account or not.
And if it was linked to a LinkedIn account, then you can go to their profile and see their names.
And lastly, you can search for the phone number in leaked or breached databases.
So you want to have a hashed account and then search for the phone number and identify in which database
the phone number has been found.
And then you can download this database and search for the phone number in this database.
