HOWTO : Metagoofil on Ubuntu Desktop 12.04 LTS

Metagoofil is an information gathering tool designed for extracting metadata of public documents (pdf,doc,xls,ppt,docx,pptx,xlsx) belonging to a target company.

The tool will perform a search in Google to identify and download the documents to local disk and then will extract the metadata with different libraries like Hachoir, PdfMiner and others. With the results it will generate a report with usernames, software versions and servers or machine names that will help Penetration testers in the information gathering phase.

Step 1 :

sudo apt-get install subversion

sudo -sH
cd /opt
svn checkout http://metagoofil.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ metagoofil
cd metagoofil


Step 2 :

To run it.

sudo -sH
cd /opt/metagoofil
python metagoofil.py -d samiux.com -t doc,pdf -l 200 -n 50 -o samiuxfiles -f results.html


That's all! See you.
