CrossLinked

CrossLinked by m8sec, is a LinkedIn enumeration tool that uses search engine scraping to collect valid employee names from a target organization. This technique provides accurate results without the use of API keys, credentials, or even accessing the site directly. Formats can then be applied in the command line arguments to turn these names into email addresses, domain accounts, and more. This tool will help the red team and penetration testers perform a better targeted Phishing Attack Simulation in their assessments.

SETUP

git clone https://github.com/m8sec/crosslinked

cd crosslinked

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

EXAMPLES

Results are written to a ‘names.txt’ file in the current directory unless specified in the command line arguments. See the Usage section for additional options.

python3 crosslinked.py -f '{first}.{last}@domain.com' company_name

python3 crosslinked.py -f 'domain\{f}{last}' -t 45 -j 1 company_name

USAGE

PROXY SUPPORT

The latest version of CrossLinked provides proxy support through the Taser library. Users can mask their traffic with a single proxy by adding –proxy 127.0.0.1:8080 to the command line arguments, or use –proxy-file proxies.txt for rotating source addresses.

http/https proxies can be added in IP:PORT notation, while SOCKS requires a socks4:// or socks5:// prefix.
