Are you curious about who just called you? Or perhaps you’re interested in gathering more information about a specific phone number? In this article, we’ll discuss how to track phone numbers using a powerful hacking tool called PhoneInfoga. But before we proceed, it’s important to note that this tool should only be used for ethical purposes with explicit permission. Remember, hacking without consent is illegal and can result in serious consequences.

Introducing PhoneInfoga

PhoneInfoga is a hacking tool that allows you to gather detailed information about phone numbers. While it might sound like something out of a spy movie, the truth is that PhoneInfoga’s purpose is to provide valuable insights into the origin and details of a given number using publicly available information on the internet. In this article, we’ll guide you through the process of setting up and using PhoneInfoga to track phone numbers.

Setting Up PhoneInfoga

To get started with PhoneInfoga, you’ll need a Linux distribution. Nearly any Linux distro will work, so choose the one that suits your preferences. However, if you want to skip the hassle of setting up your own Linux server, we have a free and fast alternative for you – the Google Cloud Console. In a matter of seconds, you can have your own Linux server up and running. Here’s how:

  1. First, navigate to the GitHub page for PhoneInfoga. You’ll find the link in the description below.
  2. Once you’re on the GitHub page, click on the link to the Google Cloud Console. You’ll need a free Google account to proceed.
  3. After logging into the Google Cloud Console, click on the Google Cloud Console icon at the top right corner of the page. This will launch your Google Cloud Shell and provide you with access to a machine in the cloud.

Installing PhoneInfoga

Now that you have your Linux server set up, it’s time to install PhoneInfoga. There are two ways to install PhoneInfoga – as an application or using Docker. In this article, we’ll focus on the Docker method, which is easier and more convenient. Here’s how you can install PhoneInfoga:

  1. On the GitHub page for PhoneInfoga, scroll down to the “Documentation” section and click on “Installation.”
  2. In the installation section, locate the “Using Docker” instructions and copy the command provided.
  3. Go back to your Google Cloud Console and paste the command into the terminal. Press Enter to execute the command.
  4. Docker will begin pulling down the necessary image for PhoneInfoga. This might take a moment, so sit back and relax.

Tracking Phone Numbers with PhoneInfoga

Now that PhoneInfoga is set up, it’s time to start tracking phone numbers. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to use PhoneInfoga to gather information about a specific phone number:

  1. Open your Google Cloud Console and navigate to the terminal.
  2. Type the following command to start using PhoneInfoga: docker run -it sundown.dev/phoneinfoga scan -n <phone_number>.
    • Replace <phone_number> with the phone number you want to track, including the country code.
    • For example, if the phone number is US-based, start with the country code “1” followed by the rest of the number.
  3. Press Enter to execute the command and watch as PhoneInfoga gathers information about the phone number.
  4. PhoneInfoga will provide various details about the phone number, such as the location and carrier information.
    • It may also generate Google dorking requests, which are advanced Google searches, to find more information about the phone number.
    • Each link generated represents a Google dorking request, allowing you to dig deeper into the phone number’s footprint.
  5. If you’d prefer a more user-friendly interface, PhoneInfoga also offers a web UI.
    • To use the web UI, enter the command docker run -it -p 8080:8080 sundown.dev/phoneinfoga serve -p 8080 in the terminal.
    • Once the server is running, click on the web preview icon in the Google Cloud Console to access the web UI.
    • From there, you can input the phone number and track it with a more visually appealing interface.

Exploring the Results

Once PhoneInfoga has finished scanning the phone number, you’ll be presented with a wealth of information. Let’s take a closer look at some of the key details PhoneInfoga provides:

  1. Num Verify Scan: PhoneInfoga starts by validating the phone number and checking if it’s real. It also provides details about the location and carrier information.
  2. Google Dorking Requests: PhoneInfoga generates Google dorking requests based on the phone number, allowing you to find additional information online.
  3. General Footprints: This section provides a general Google search for the phone number, helping you discover its presence on the internet.
  4. Social Media Websites: PhoneInfoga uses Google dorking to search for the phone number on popular social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Instagram.
  5. Individual Footprints: This section explores various web pages and sites to find any information associated with the phone number.
  6. Reputation Footprints: PhoneInfoga checks for any reputation or feedback linked to the phone number from various sources.
