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:
- Open your Google Cloud Console and navigate to the terminal.
- 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.
- Replace
- Press Enter to execute the command and watch as PhoneInfoga gathers information about the phone number.
- 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.
- 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.
- To use the web UI, enter the command
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:
- 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.
- Google Dorking Requests: PhoneInfoga generates Google dorking requests based on the phone number, allowing you to find additional information online.
- General Footprints: This section provides a general Google search for the phone number, helping you discover its presence on the internet.
