I have attempted to using the following command on Kali Linux:

theharvester -d syngress.com -l 10 -b google

Unfortunately, the result I got was nothing. There was no email and host. Is it the problem with my setting of Kali Linux or did I make something wrong?

  • Isn't that a web service? I don't think any setting in Kali will influence that except for having a connection to the internet. – Anthon Dec 22 '14 at 09:09

    So far, what do you think of the problem? I wish to get some response as well as the result, however I got nothing in return. – Lin Cheng Dec 22 '14 at 09:14
  • neither bing nor google is working on the latest versions, only linked in – Stígandr Nov 29 '16 at 10:40

Had the same issue, haven't been able to isolate the problem.

Tried it with the -b bing option, worked great.

Are you routing your traffic through TOR or proxychanins?

Google may be refusing the requests based on your IP, hence another search "-b" source should work better

I had the same problem. Solved by just adding -b all

so:

$ theHarvester -d DOMAIN -b all

theHarvester -d domain-name -b specify(google)

I was facing the same issue, it always returns with some errors like Missing the API key for ...

So I tuned it with the specified -b option and it worked.
