The command you mentioned is using the tool called "theHarvester" to gather information related to a specific domain. Let me break down the command for you:

"theHarvester" is a popular open-source intelligence (OSINT) tool used for collecting data about a target domain such as email addresses, subdomains, hosts, employee names, etc.
"--domain ${domain_name}" specifies the target domain you want to gather information about. Replace "${domain_name}" with the actual domain you want to investigate.
"--source ${google}" refers to the data source from where information will be gathered. In this case, it is set to "google," which means theHarvester will scrape data from Google search results related to the provided domain.
"--limit ${200}" sets a limit on the number of search results to retrieve. It is currently set to 200, meaning theHarvester will return a maximum of 200 results.

To use this command, replace "${domain_name}" with the desired domain and execute it in a terminal or command prompt. TheHarvester will then retrieve relevant information from Google's search results, adhering to the specified limitations.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
