./theharvester.py -d microsoft.com -b pgp
Searching for user names that works in the company microsoft, we use google as search engine, so we need to specify the limit of results we want to use:
./theharvester.py -d microsoft.com -l 200 -b linkedin
Searching in all sources at the same time, with a limit of 200 results:
