PhoneInfoga is an open-source tool used in the field of OSINT (Open Source Intelligence) to gather information about phone numbers. It's especially useful for cybersecurity professionals, investigators, and researchers who need to verify or trace unknown numbers using publicly available data.
What makes PhoneInfoga interesting is that it doesn't rely on illegal methods, it uses passive techniques to search for data from public sources like search engines, websites, and online directories.
How That's Working ?
Let’s say you receive a suspicious call from a number you don’t recognize — for example, +1 202-555-0198. You can use PhoneInfoga to look up this number. Here's what it might do:
Validate the number: It checks if the number is correctly formatted and identifies the country (e.g., USA), line type (mobile or landline), and carrier.
Search online sources: It performs search queries on Google, DuckDuckGo, and other search engines to find any mentions of the number online.
Look for social media links: .
Check for reports: It may also look into spam or fraud databases to see if the number has been reported.
That's just for linux, you can saw on github.
Just clone on github and start to use.
