Find Identifying
Information from a Phone
Number Using OSINT
Tools
Phone numbers often contain clues to the owner's
identity and can bring up a lot of data during an OSINT
investigation. Starting with a phone number, we can
search through a large number of online databases
with only a few clicks to discover information about a
phone number. It can include the carrier, the owner's
name and address, and even connected online
accounts.
While a phone number may not seem like much
information to give out, an OSINT researcher can
quicldy discover information that ties a phone number
to a variety of other clues. The data can be used to
detect whether a phone number is a throwaway VOIP
number used to hide the owner's identity or a ce]]
phone belonging to a real person. In the event of
buying something online or replying to an apartment
ad, this information is incredibly useful to know.
For a hacker, the ability to turn a phone number into
multiple connected online accounts, email addresses,
or screen names makes it a perfect starting point for bigger things to come. A quick scan to discover the
carrier of a phone number can provide everything a
hacker needs for a we]]-crafted phishing emai]
pretending to be from the victim's carrier. Once a
hacker can identify other details about the target that
may be attached to the phone number, it's easy to
identify the weakest link and attack the target using
whatever information that's dug up.
OSINT Tools for Phone Numbers
For quickly searching through phone numbers, we can use both command-line and browser-based tools. Command line tools give the advantage of simple operation and greater customization but require you to have Python installed and updated. Today, we'll be using a tool called Phoneinfoga to quickly determine if the number is associated with a disposable phone number.
