A Python OSINT tool that scrapes LinkedIn employee lists for a target company and generates multiple probable username formats (e.g., first.last, flast) as text files, optionally appending an email domain. It uses Selenium with a real browser login and requires no API key.

Use cases

• generate username lists for a company from LinkedIn
• build email candidate lists for penetration testing
• OSINT reconnaissance on a target organization's employees
• create probable corporate email formats like [email protected]
• enumerate employees of a company for security assessments

When to choose

• you need probable username/email formats for a company during an authorized pentest
• you want a simple scraper without API keys
• you need multiple username convention variants and metadata output

When to avoid

• you cannot risk your LinkedIn account being rate limited or banned
• you need guaranteed up-to-date scraping since LinkedIn changes may break it
• you are not doing authorized security research
