find info on phone numbers with PhoneInfoga
About this video
He introduces PhoneInfoga as an OSINT tool for gathering publicly available information about a phone number, with a warning not to use it to hack anyone without explicit permission. Rather than installing locally, he runs it for free in Google Cloud Shell using Docker, pulling the sundowndev/phoneinfoga image and scanning a US number with the scan command and its country code. He shows the NumVerify results identifying location and line type, and explains that many other results are generated Google dork links for general, document, social media, reputation and temporary-number footprints. He then runs PhoneInfoga in serve mode on port 8080 to use its web UI through Cloud Shell preview, repeats the scan, notes a flaw where a Facebook dork missed a number format with parentheses around the area code, and tries a second number that search results linked in his demonstration to scam reports.
Key takeaways
- PhoneInfoga gathers public information about phone numbers as part of OSINT
- It can run in Google Cloud Shell via Docker without a local Linux install
- A scan validates the number and reports details such as location and landline versus toll-free
- Most footprints are Google dork links for web, documents and social media searches
- Serve mode on port 8080 provides a web UI that is easier to read than the terminal
