Poastal - the Email OSINT tool

Poastal - the Email OSINT tool

Poastal is an email OSINT tool that provides valuable information on any email address. With Poastal, you can easily input an email address and it will quickly answer several questions, providing you with crucial information.

✨ Features

• Determine the name of the person who has the email.
• Check if the email is deliverable or not.
• Find out if the email is disposable or not.
• Identify if the email is considered spam.
• Check if the email is registered on popular platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, Parler, Rumble, MeWe, Imgur, Adobe, Wordpress, and Duolingo.

💻 Usage

Make sure you have the requirements installed.

pip install -r requirements.txt

Navigate to the backend folder and run poastal.py to start the Flask app. This points to port:8080.

python poastal.py

Open index.html in the root directory to use the UI.

Enter an email address and see the results.

Test with [email protected].

There's a new GitHub module.

If you open up github.py you'll see a section that asks you to replace it with your own API key.

📣 Feedback

I hope you find Poastal to be a valuable tool for your OSINT investigations. If you have any feedback or suggestions on how we can improve Poastal, please let me know. I'm always looking for ways to improve this tool to better serve the OSINT community.

Web access not working

Hi Jake

If I use http://localhost:8080/ then I get:

No email address provided

If I use http://localhost:8080/index.html then I get:

"No email address provided."

Running under WSL2 the http://127.0.0.1:8080/ page only shows "No email address provided." and never gives an opportunity to enter an email address.

Github profile always found

Searching for a completely random email address that doesn't exist always shows a found profile for Github.

Thank you

pip install click -- should be added to requirements?

To run I had to first:
pip install click

Actually in pyenv needed to run:
python -m pip install click

Should click be added to requirements?

Missing user agent

Thanks for putting this together.

One thing, tho, you might want to add a specific or a random one from a pool of user agent string(s). Not doing so causes every request by your checkers to send python-requests/2.xx.x to the servers you are querying.

While this might work it's poor opsec and will eventually increase the risk of being banned / endpoints being hardened / cool methods being removed as it is pretty noisy.

Of course users can monkey patch this globally by - e.g. inserting something like requests.utils.default_user_agent = lambda: 'Mozilla Firefox....' - but imho the tool should provide proper opsec or clearly state in the README that it broadcast itself as a crawler.

No UI at http://127.0.0.1:8080/ but just "No email address provided."

After starting the python script and navigating to http://127.0.0.1:8080/ there is no option to enter an email address but only the message, "No email address provided."

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'twitter'

Hi and thanks for the great work!

I've got an issue with loading the local twitter module from the modules folder:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "poastal.py", line 7, in <module>
    from twitter import twitter_email
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'twitter'

Workaround for me was to add the modules folder to the import command in the poastal.py

#import modules
from modules.twitter import twitter_email

And now it's working :)

Error: Unable to fetch data.

Hi, I got this error after I put in a mail address like [email protected].

Error: Unable to fetch data.

This is all i get for Poastal after entering an email(Error: Unable to fetch data.)
