$ buster -e j********[email protected]****.com -f john -l doe -b ****1989
Generate usernames (use with -o option and input the file to recon-ng’s profiler module)
$ buster -f john -m james -l doe -b 13071989
Generate emails (use -v if you want to validate and get info of each email)
$ buster -f john -m james -l doe -b 13071989 -p gmail.com yahoo.com
Generate 100+ emails in the format [email protected] and returns the valid ones(use -p if you dont want all 100+)
$ buster -u johndoe
Generate a company email and returns info associated with it
$ buster -f john -l doe -c company.com

Tips

  • You get 200 email validations/day,use them wisely!
  • When using the -a option,avoid using small words(ex:j,3,66),the shorter the words are the bigger the email list is and therefore more validations are needed
  • when adding an email pattern make sure the service providing the pattern displays it with the right size(facebook,twitter,instagram do…others might not)
  • I dont recommend using with Tor as haveibeenpwnd.com,hunter.io and google wont function properly
