Using Backtrack 4: Information Gathering: Searchengine: goorecon

goorecon

Purpose:

Using Google to do two things that increase your subject’s attack surface:
Enumerating subdomains, and
Harvesting email addresses.

Discussion:

In the “final” release of BackTrack 4, perhaps just my copy of goorecon was broken. I putzed around hacking the script, but eventually simply renaming goorecon.rb then running

gem install goorecon

solved the issue.
