```shell
wget https://academy.hackthebox.com/storage/resources/Footprinting-wordlist.zip
unzip Footprinting-wordlist.zip
```

Subsequently, students need to use `smtp-user-enum`, specifying the downloaded wordlist for the `-U` (short version of `file-of-usernames`) option, and 20 for the `-w` option, which sets the maximum number of seconds for waiting for replies:

```shell
smtp-user-enum -M VRFY -U ./footprinting-wordlist.txt -t STMIP -m 60 -w 20
```

```bash
┌─[us-academy-1]─[10.10.14.69]─[htb-ac413848@pwnbox-base]─[~]
└──╼ [★]$ smtp-user-enum -M VRFY -U ./footprinting-wordlist.txt -t 10.129.42.195 -m 60 -w 20
