Buster is a Python command-line OSINT tool for email reconnaissance. It finds social accounts linked to an email, data breaches, pastes, reverse WHOIS domains, and generates/validates possible email addresses from a person's name and details.

Use cases

• find social accounts linked to an email address
• check which data breaches an email appears in
• generate and verify possible email addresses for a person
• find emails associated with a username
• discover domains registered with an email via reverse whois
• find someone's work email at a company
• bulk-check a list of email addresses

When to choose

• you need a free, scriptable CLI for email-based OSINT during authorized pentests or investigations
• you want to correlate an email with breaches, pastes, and social media profiles
• you need to guess and validate email patterns from a person's name and birthdate

When to avoid

• you need a GUI or a maintained web service
• you require up-to-date breach data sources, as the tool's last release was in 2020 and some sources may be broken
• you lack authorization to investigate the target email addresses
