AI Dorks — Contact & Digital Footprint

Claude prompts for finding the public professional contact points of an authorized subject — published emails, profiles, and availability signals — and verifying a claimed identity.

Public-source, authorized use. These are prompt-engineering aids, not jailbreaks. Use them on subjects and infrastructure you’re authorized to investigate; they keep to public sources, respect site terms, and exclude breach data and private-individual targeting. Paste a prompt into Claude, fill the highlighted fields, and have it show its work and cite sources.

Find public professional contact points with Claude

These prompts gather the public, professional contact footprint of someone you have a lawful basis to contact — emails and profiles published on company sites, professional pages, and filings — infer likely corporate email formats from cited patterns, and verify that a profile belongs to the claimed person. They exclude breach dumps, stealer logs, PII brokers, and personal home or phone details. Claude can also write Google dorks such as site: and intext:@domain to surface published addresses alongside the format inference.

Frequently asked questions

Is finding someone’s email like this allowed?

These prompts use only publicly published professional contact info and exclude breach/PII-broker sources and personal details — the standard for lawful business outreach and journalism.

How does email-format inference work?

From staff emails already published on a company’s own site or press, Claude infers the likely pattern and lists candidates clearly marked unverified — it doesn’t probe mail servers.

Does it check personal accounts?

No. The availability sweep is a public existence signal for an authorized subject; it does not target private individuals or attempt logins.

How do I find someone's email address for free?

These prompts have Claude gather professional emails already published on company sites, professional profiles and filings, and — where none are public — infer the likely corporate format from cited examples, clearly marking guesses as unverified.

How do I find a company's email format?

From staff emails a company has already published, the prompt infers the pattern (for example first.last@) and lists candidate addresses labelled unverified. It never probes mail servers or uses breach data.

What Google dork finds email addresses?

Patterns like site:example.com intext:@example.com surface published addresses. The contact prompts have Claude run those dorks on public sources and infer a company's email format from cited examples — never breach data. See the Google Dorks list.
