The steps

1. Copy the source from the GitHub

2. Launch recon-ng

3. Install modules

4. Create my shoudan account.

5. Add shoudan_api keys

6. Load a module (recon/domains-hosts/shoudan_hostname)

7. Set the target source. (this case, bbc.com)

8. Implement “run” command to gather information about bbc.com

The result

The summary

It is essential to recognize that many footprinting tools help malicious attackers gather the information of the organizations.

Therefore, blue teams need to minimize the companies’ vulnerabilities to reduce the risks to be exploited.
