Thanks, but I am still searching for some other methods than sending
email to employers. I think this situation occurs in most of smallest
companies, so there isn't any other method?

Embeded pictures in the email may work.  It could even be extended to find
out individual workstation Ip's if each person linked to a different
pictures. Then check the logs to see which pictures were opened.

Yes but when company use webhosting's mail server this won't work.

You could always look at simply sending a bounce mail, ie, mailing
thisaddressdoesntexist () organisation com, and then review the headers,
often
mail servers will leak information especially if they are serving to an
internal environment.

Hi,

Let's imagine this situation. Some small company has internal network
with some servers directly connected to the internet. Company's web is
on the webhosintg. How can attacker now identify company's systems? I
thought about something like sending email to employee with link to
website which will log an ip address and hope employee will click on
that link in work. But what are some more passive methods for this?
