Still on the sites that archive information, Whois.net is yet another one that serves almost the same purpose as Pipl. Whois.net lists information such as the email addresses, telephone numbers, and IP addresses of targets that one searches information about. Whois.net also has access to information about domains. If a target has a personal website, Whois.net is able to find out fine details about the registrant and registrar of the domain name, its registration and expiry date, and the contact information of the site owner. Just like Pipl, the information obtained here could be used to obtain more information about a target and thereby be able to launch a successful attack.
