Let’s find out if our targeted email address is misused or the associated password has appeared in any leaks. The task can be performed using the following command.
Python2.7 Cr3d0v3r.py –q <targetted email address>
The -q argument represents quiet mode (no banner) in the scanning process. The tool looks for the use of the provided email address on different websites and displays the results as shown in the following screenshot.
If there is no leak found publically, the tool asks for credentials (passwords) to perform a login attempt (registration check) for different well-known websites, this could be particularly useful for Red team engagements where credentials have been found elsewhere. If credentials are used somewhere else, they are displayed in the results as shown in the following screenshot.
Cr3dOv3r is helpful in discovering the misuse of email addresses or leakage of the credentials. The tool not only finds the web applications where the targeted email address is used, but also looks for the plaintext passwords and whether they can be utilized within other accounts.
