Warning

For the love of humanity, DO NOT RUN THIS PROGRAM!

Important

If you ignored the 1st warning then please only use the program as a "pentest", to check how easily a bot can get your email from an arbitrary text-file.

Name

It stands for "experimental email scrapper.

Notice the suspicious emphasis on "crap". It's a sign that you should feel like that, if you ever include similar code into a web-crawler that feeds a spam-bot.

Why

I've been wondering "How advanced can an email scrapper get... without AI?", so I made this as a challenge to myself!

This is just a "personal project" made for fun, and learning/research. It's also intended to raise awareness about data brokers.

For the reasons mentioned above, I won't:

• distribute executables/binaries (compile it yourself, MF)
• release a 1.x version (always unstable)
• publish to a package registry, market/store, or repository.

Other

This is probably the most ethically-questionable software I've ever written. If you believe I'm doing more harm than good, please explain why. I may archive this repo if I feel "guilty enough"

CONTRIBUTING
