C. The email accounts related to the domain of the organization Why this is not obtained directly: Email tracking tools like eMailTrackerPro focus on tracking interactions with a specific sent email, not on discovering all email accounts associated with a domain. Discovering email accounts related to a domain (e.g., [email protected]) typically requires other footprinting techniques, such as: Guessing common username patterns (e.g., [email protected]). Using domain search tools (e.g., Hunter.io, Voila Norbert) or social engineering. Analyzing public records, job postings, or company websites. Tracking tools vs. account discovery: The tracker records data about the recipient who opened the email, but it does not enumerate all email accounts within the domain.

D. Time spent reading the email Trackers can log when an email is opened and closed, allowing the tool to calculate the time spent reading it. Some tools even track scroll behavior or interactions with links, which contributes to this metric.

Understanding Email Tracking Tools (e.g., eMailTrackerPro) Email tracking tools typically work by embedding a small invisible image (pixel tag or web beacon) in the email. When the recipient opens the email, the tag pings a server to record data. The primary information collected includes: Whether the email was opened and the timestamp. Device and browser details (e.g., OS, browser type). Geolocation based on the IP address of the device that opened the email. Time spent interacting with the email (e.g., how long it was open).

eMailTrackerPro is a tool used for email footprinting and tracking. It primarily helps in analyzing email headers, tracing IP addresses, and identifying sender details. However, it does not provide precise tracking of how long a recipient spends reading an email.

Selected Answer: D

The option that can NOT be obtained directly from eMailTrackerPro is: D. The time recipient spent reading the email Explanation: eMailTrackerPro is a tool used to track emails and obtain information such as the sender's location, IP address, and other metadata. However, it cannot determine how much time the recipient spends reading an email, as this would require access to the user's email client or screen behavior, which is not part of the standard email tracking functionality.
