pymeta

Pymeta is a Python3 rewrite of the tool PowerMeta, created by dafthack in PowerShell. It uses specially crafted search queries to identify and download the following file types (pdf, xls, xlsx, doc, docx, ppt, pptx) from a given domain using Google and Bing. Once downloaded, metadata is extracted from these files using Phil Harvey’s exiftool. This is commonplace for penetration testers to find internal domain names, usernames, software/version numbers, and identify an organization’s naming conventions.

Pymeta can also be pointed at a directory to extract metadata from files manually downloaded using the ‘-dir’ command-line argument.

During metadata extraction, unique ‘Author’, ‘Creator’, and ‘Producer’ fields will be written to the terminal. However, the more verbose output can be accomplished by generating a csv report with the ‘-csv’ command line argument.
