The command you mentioned is using a tool called theHarvester. This tool is used for gathering information about a specific domain. Let's break down the command:

theHarvester: This is the name of the tool itself.
--domain ${domain_name}: This is an option for the tool to specify the target domain you want to gather information about. You need to replace ${domain_name} with the actual domain name you are interested in.
--source ${google,bing,crtsh}: This is another option for the tool to specify the source of information to gather from. You can choose one or multiple sources by separating them with commas. The available sources are:
- google: The tool will query Google search engine for information related to the specified domain.
- bing: The tool will query Bing search engine for information related to the specified domain.
- crtsh: The tool will query the certificate transparency logs (crt.sh) for SSL/TLS certificates associated with the specified domain.

By running this command with the appropriate domain name and source(s), theHarvester tool will scrape the specified source(s) to gather information about the domain, which could include email addresses, subdomains, IP addresses, or other relevant details.
