Overview
RedHawk-X is a comprehensive suite that transforms raw identity data into verified contacts. It combines advanced pattern generation,
multi-layer verification, and structured extraction to produce datasets suitable for marketing, sales enablement, OSINT, and authorized security testing.
The product is engineered to reduce false positives, improve deliverability, and provide transparent audit trails for responsible operations.
Who Uses RedHawk-X
Cybersecurity Analysts
Identify public-facing accounts, analyze exposure, and validate contact hygiene during authorized audits.
OSINT Researchers
Enrich open-source investigations with structured emails and metadata to support analysis and reporting.
Sales & Marketing
Generate high-quality lead lists with format-aware generation and validation to reduce bounce rates.
Penetration Testers (Authorized)
Map naming conventions and verify account existence as part of scoped and signed engagement plans.
Data Scientists & Analysts
Prepare cleaned datasets for modeling, deduplication, and trend analysis across customer bases.
Core Features
🧩 Generate — Name Pattern Engine
Creates realistic email permutations (e.g., first.last, f.last, first_last) using normalization rules for international names and domain-specific patterns.
🔎 Discover — Provider Integrations
Integrates with configurable providers to discover publicly available leads while respecting rate limits and API terms.
✅ Verify — Multi-Layer Validation
Combines DNS/MX checks, provider-based validation, and optional (authorized) SMTP probing to improve confidence scoring.
📁 Extract — Parser & Export
Extracts, filters, and flattens complex JSON/CSV dumps into clean exports with unified status labels (valid, invalid, catch_all, unknown).
⚙️ Automation — Pipelines & CLI
Chain modules using the CLI to automate large-scale workflows: generate → verify → extract → report.
📚 Auditability & Logging
Timestamped outputs, structured logs, and ROE templates help maintain transparency and compliance for authorized activities.
Usage Examples
Example CLI snippets (conceptual & safe):
$ python3 -m src.cli generate --first "Jane" --last "Doe" --domain "example.com" -o outputs/generated.csv
Generates realistic permutations for Jane Doe and writes to CSV (offline generation — no network required).
$ python3 -m src.cli verify --file outputs/generated.csv --method provider_api -o outputs/verified.csv
Validate using a third-party verification API to reduce false positives (recommended over heavy active probing).
$ python3 -m src.cli extract --input outputs/raw_api.json --fields first_name,email,smtp_status -s valid -o outputs/clean_leads.csv
Parse and export only valid leads for downstream use.
Responsible Use & Legal Guidance
RedHawk-X is a dual-use toolkit: it enables both productivity for marketing and data teams and capabilities useful for security testing. With that power comes the obligation to act legally and ethically.
- Always obtain written authorization before performing any active verification or reconnaissance that targets systems you do not own.
- Prefer passive & API-based verification to minimize operational impact and avoid triggering protections.
- Document scope and retention — keep logs and signed Rules of Engagement for every engagement.
- Respect privacy laws and data-protection regulations (GDPR, CCPA, local laws).
