Mailfogle

Warning

This repository is no longer maintained.

OSINT tool allowing the exploration and the scrapping of a user's public data from a Google email address (gmail, googlemail) to find YouTube account, Google Maps Contributions and more.

The script

Needs

• A dedicated Google account
• Access to Google People API

If you can't connect to Google People API, it will only try to find YouTube accounts matching the username in the mail address.

Operation

This script does :

• connect to People API via a Google account
• add the emails to dig to the account's contact list
• get all the Google ID of the targets
• scrap the data of Google Maps Contributions if profiles are public
• search for a YouTube account corresponding to the username of the email address
• delete the email address of the account's contact list

Installation

Download files and dependencies

git clone https://github.com/WildSiphon/Mailfogle.git
cd Mailfogle
pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Configure API

Create a new project on https://console.cloud.google.com/ and add People API to it. Generate ID clients OAuth 2.0, download them and rename the file credentials.json before placing it in the same folder as the project.

If you're not sure, see CONFIGURE_API.md which explains how to do it step by step.

                        path to a file listing the email addresses of the targets
  -o [OUTPUT], --output [OUTPUT]
                        choose output name (default is 'output')

Example

~$ python3 mailfogle.py -e  pierrecroce@gmail.com

First use

The first time you will use it, you will be asked to log into a Google account. Once the permissions to edit contacts are granted, the script will save the login token in token.json. No more connection will be required after that.

We advise you not to log into a personal account but to use an account reserved for OSINT. The script does not retrieve any of your personal information, but if it crashes for some reason, contacts added during its execution will not be deleted.

You can still manage contacts manually here.

Output

Results are displayed in console, but all the informations are recorded and stored by default in ./output.json. This is much more than just what is printed on the terminal.

Example

Stuff to add

• Colors in the printed output (feel free to help me with that)
• A way to get the name of the person without clicking the Google Maps Contributions link
• A way to scrap the data of Google Maps Contributions
• A commented version of the code lol
• A way to recover the name of the target if Google Maps profile is private
• Add some infos to scrap from Google Maps profile (date of each media or medias from reviews)
• Another way to find a person's Google ID without using the API (using the API is efficient but I'd rather not have to use it)
• Configure the script so that it can use Selenium with any geckodriver (not just Firefox)
• Find a way to scrap more than the last 15 videos of a YouTube channel
• Add a contact cleaner when script is stopped during execution
