There are many tools which are used in gathering information. These tools gather information but are not able to gather some secret information of target. There are various way to exploit any target. But there are some vital information which comes really helpful while exploiting target. So today we will show you a tool called photon.
According to ethical hacking researcher of international institute of cyber security says that photon is useful in initial phase of pentesting.
Photon is a tool used in information gathering. This tool crawls on the target very fastly. Photon grabs information secret keys, emails, subdomains, DNS and many other information which can be used to exploit. For showing you we have tested this tool on Kali Linux 2018.4
- Type git clone https://github.com/s0md3v/Photon.git
- Type cd Photon
- Type python photon.py
root@kali:/home/iicybersecurity/Downloads/Photon# python photon.py

usage: photon.py [-h] [-u root] [-c cook] [-r regex] [-e export] [-o output]
[-l level] [-t threads] [-d delay] [-v]
[-s seeds [seeds …]] [--stdout std]
[--user-agent user_agent] [--exclude exclude]
[--timeout timeout] [--headers] [--dns] [--ninja] [--keys]
[--update] [--only-urls] [--wayback]
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-u root, --url root root url
-c cook, --cookie cook
cookie
-r regex, --regex regex
regex pattern
-e export, --export export
export format
-o output, --output output
output directory
-l level, --level level
levels to crawl
-t threads, --threads threads
number of threads
-d delay, --delay delay
delay between requests
-v, --verbose verbose output
-s seeds [seeds …], --seeds seeds [seeds …]
additional seed urls
--stdout std send variables to stdout
--user-agent user_agent
custom user agent(s)
--exclude exclude exclude urls matching this regex
--timeout timeout http request timeout
--headers add headers
--dns enumerate subdomains and dns data
--ninja ninja mode
--keys find secret keys
--update update photon
--only-urls only extract urls
--wayback fetch urls from archive.org as seeds
- The above options are used while gathering information about the target.
- Type python photon.py -u hack.me
- -u is used to enter url.
