电子邮件OSINT
An email is a high-value selector: it links accounts, appears in breaches, and
often encodes a name. Input: one or more email addresses. Never send email to
the target as a research technique.
电子邮件是一种高价值的情报线索:它关联着多个账户,会出现在数据泄露记录中,并且通常包含姓名信息。输入:一个或多个电子邮件地址。注意:切勿向目标发送邮件作为调查手段。

Step 2 — Validate & parse
步骤2 — 验证与解析
Confirm the address is real without messaging it: MX records for the domain,
SMTP/API validation services, and Gravatar (
— an existing avatar confirms use and often shows a photo/name). Parse the
local-part for a likely name pattern (, ). Done when the
address is graded valid/invalid/unknown and the name guess is noted.

personal fields to pivot from. Done when breach appearances are recorded (or
none found).
