What is this?
-------------

theHarvester is a tool for gathering e-mail accounts, subdomain names, virtual
hosts, open ports/ banners, and employee names from different public sources
(search engines, pgp key servers).

Is a really simple tool, but very effective for the early stages of a penetration
test or just to know the visibility of your company in the Internet.

The sources are:

          the discovery/bingsearch.py file)

         discovered hosts  (http://www.shodanhq.com/)
