Information gathering, the first and the most important step of penetration testing/ ethical hacking; the more you know about your target, more the chances of success you have. Social media specially Facebook and Twitter have loads on information about any person or business, and hackers also using these platform to get the information of the target; whatever the purpose is, you need information or simply you need to get information by using intelligence gathering techniques. There are many services and products are available in the market, but what if I tell you that there are many OSINT (open source intelligence tools) are available for free of cost, tinfoleak is one of them.
