What does the '-n' option in Metagoofil accomplish?

Downloads a specified number of documents
Starts a new session in Metagoofil
Creates a new user profile
Lists available commands

The correct answer is: Downloads a specified number of documents

The '-n' option in Metagoofil is utilized to specify the number of documents that the tool should attempt to download from a target. This is particularly useful for penetration testers and ethical hackers who want to gather a controlled amount of documents for reconnaissance purposes, allowing them to analyze the data without overwhelming their system or processes. In contrast, other options do not align with the function of the '-n' option. Starting a new session, creating a new user profile, or listing available commands would involve different command-line options or functionalities that are unrelated to fetching a designated number of documents. The '-n' option is specifically about limiting the scope of the data collection, thereby providing a focused approach to gathering intelligence on the target.
