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, csv, doc, docx, ppt, pptx) from a given domain using Google and Bing scraping. Once downloaded, metadata is extracted from these files using Phil Harvey's exiftool and added to a .csv
report. Metadata is a common place for penetration testers to find internal domain names, usernames, software/version numbers, and help identify an organization's naming convention.
Pymeta can also be pointed at a directory to extract metadata from files manually downloaded using the -dir
command line argument. See the Usage, or All Options section for more information.
