email2phonenumber is an open source OSINT (Open Source Intelligence) tool designed to help researchers identify a target’s phone number using only an email address. 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.
Features
- Email-based phone discovery that attempts to identify a phone number associated with a specific email address
- Website scraping module that collects masked phone number digits from password reset flows on supported services
- Phone number generator that produces valid number combinations based on a country's phone numbering plan
- Brute-force correlation capability that tests generated phone numbers against account recovery mechanisms
- Automation of OSINT techniques to reduce manual effort during reconnaissance research
- Proxy support during brute-force operations to help avoid service abuse protections such as captchas
