sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1M count=2048 sudo mkswap /swapfile sudo swapon /swapfile PhoneInfoga is powerful alone, but truly shines when combined with other Kali Linux tools. 1. Automate with Recon-ng Create a Recon-ng script that feeds numbers into PhoneInfoga via the command line. 2. Pipe into Sherlock (Username Search) If PhoneInfoga finds a Google profile, you can extract the username and run Sherlock to find other social media accounts:
wget https://github.com/sundowndev/phoneinfoga/releases/download/v2.10.5/phoneinfoga_Linux_x86_64.tar.gz Note: Replace v2.10.5 with the latest version found on the releases page. tar -xzf phoneinfoga_Linux_x86_64.tar.gz Step 3: Install and Set Permissions chmod +x phoneinfoga sudo mv phoneinfoga /usr/local/bin/ Step 4: Test the Installation phoneinfoga --help The help menu should appear, listing commands like scan , serve , and version . Post-Installation: Configuration and Setup PhoneInfoga works reasonably well out-of-the-box, but certain features require API keys (e.g., for Numverify, Google dorking). Create a configuration file to maximize effectiveness. Generate a Default Configuration phoneinfoga config init This creates ~/.config/phoneinfoga/config.yaml . Edit it to add your API keys:
sudo apt install golang-go -y Verify the installation: install phoneinfoga in kali linux
phoneinfoga version Expected output: PhoneInfoga version v2.10.x (build from source) If you don’t want to compile from source, the project releases precompiled binaries for Linux (amd64/arm64). This method is faster but may be slightly behind the bleeding edge. Step 1: Download the Latest Release Visit the official releases page on GitHub, or use wget directly:
sudo mv phoneinfoga /usr/local/bin/ Verify the installation: ensure ca-certificates are updated:
phoneinfoga scan -n "+1234567890" | grep "Username" | sherlock Redirect PhoneInfoga output to a file for later analysis:
nano ~/.config/phoneinfoga/config.yaml The file structure looks like this: listing commands like scan
cd $GOPATH/src git clone https://github.com/sundowndev/phoneinfoga.git If you face SSL certificate errors, ensure ca-certificates are updated:
