Hi !

[SNIP]
If acme.com, a global company, has a very wide range of numbers how is it
best to seek out the numbers that are relevant to the IT departments.
Obviously there is the social engineering approach, however I am interested
in any other ideas.
I would first make a WHOIS lookup on acme.com, and look at the Technical
Contact's phone number. If (and that's a big if) the numbers are allocated in
a quite sequential manner in the company, that number should be somewhere
in the IT range.

Hope this helps,

Lionel
