It supports more than a hundred websites and is commonly used during reconnaissance, digital investigations, and account exposure assessments. holehe is designed to operate quickly and quietly, emphasizing efficiency and minimal footprint during enumeration tasks. ...

...The project was created as a proof-of-concept during research into new OSINT methodologies for extracting personal information from publicly accessible sources and account recovery mechanisms. The tool works by automating interactions with password reset processes on various online services, which may reveal masked phone number digits associated with an account. By combining these partial digits with other publicly available information, the tool attempts to reconstruct or identify the full phone number. The application includes several functions that support different phases of this process, such as scraping phone number fragments, generating possible numbers based on national numbering plans, and testing potential numbers against service recovery mechanisms.
