ExchangeFinder is a simple and open-source tool that tries to find Micrsoft Exchange instance for a given domain based on the top common DNS names for Microsoft Exchange.
ExchangeFinder can identify the exact version of Microsoft Exchange starting from Microsoft Exchange 4.0 to Microsoft Exchange Server 2019.
ExchangeFinder will first try to resolve any subdomain that is commonly used for Exchange server, then it will send a couple of HTTP requests to parse the content of the response sent by the server to identify if it’s using Microsoft Exchange or not.
Currently, the tool has a signature of every version from Microsoft Exchange starting from Microsoft Exchange 4.0 to Microsoft Exchange Server 2019, and based on the build version sent by Exchange via the header X-OWA-Version we can identify the exact version.
If the tool found a valid Microsoft Exchange instance, it will return the following results:
Clone the latest version of ExchangeFinder using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/mhaskar/ExchangeFinder
And then install all the requirements using the command poetry install.
