🚨 Launching: The OSINT Tools Library A curated, investigator-first directory of tools used in real cases. → We’re building the largest and best maintained OSINT tools resource and need your help. Reply and tag a tool we should add 👇

📰 An advanced 2026 guide to investigating a person of interest, covering tools, tactics and methodology. Structured enough that you can lift it into a Claude skill and add your own tradecraft on top.

Tiny visual details can expose more than you expect. A new investigation shows how analysts spotted subtle inconsistencies inside Putin’s replica offices and used them to work out where he was really filming his meetings. Read the full story here:

⚠️ LeakIX scans the internet for misconfigured services, exposed databases and publicly accessible data leaks, and indexes findings so you can search by domain, IP address or organisation name. Try it out:

Got a suspicious URL but don't want to click it? 🔒 urlscan.io visits it for you - capturing a screenshot, every domain contacted, every script loaded, and the tech stack behind it. Used by Reuters in a real hacking investigation. Free for basic use:

A Gmail address can be a goldmine for investigators 📧 GHunt extracts publicly linked data from Google accounts - Maps reviews, YouTube activity, and more - all from a single email address. A powerful first step in any people-focused investigation.

Stop checking breach databases one by one. Leaker queries up to 12 simultaneously and deduplicates the results. 🔓 Free, open-source CLI. Some data sources require paid API keys. Learn more:

This is how real OSINT should be done. @Bellingcat reconstructed the Minneapolis ICE shooting by syncing five different videos, mapping movements and analysing multiple camera angles. No doxxing, no speculation - just sources and methods.

175 million Telegram messages. 2 million channels. Not indexed by Google. 🔎 deaddrop searches a scraped Telegram archive - surfacing content that normal search engines will never find. Free for recent data. A solid Telegago alternative:

GeoSentinel is an open source platform for tracking global movement in real time. It combines flight tracking, vessel data, and geospatial intelligence into one monitoring system. It's useful for aviation, maritime, and geopolitical OSINT.

This is a username tool on steroids. Chadi’s The Big Brother scans 473 plus platforms for matching usernames. It pulls profile images and runs quad engine reverse image searches automatically. Check it out for username + image intel in one workflow.

🌐 IP Search is now live on OSINT Industries. One lookup returns location and ISP, VPN and proxy detection, abuse and threat reports, and open ports with CVEs. Ownership and exposure in one place instead of three separate services.

Telegram's search is terrible. Google's isn't. 🔍 Telegago Search Engine is a custom search engine that uses Google to find publicly available content across Telegram channels and groups. Try it here - no account needed:

OSINT + AI 🧠 Vyntral's God’s Eye integrates local AI via Ollama for vuln analysis and reporting. No cloud. No APIs. Fully private. Free. AI is becoming a default layer in open source tooling, not a premium feature. Try it here:

🔎 New tool: BF Database Search Look up a Breach Forums username and see what’s connected: profile data, linked emails, historical IPs, and posts. It’s a great tool for attribution pivots and threat research. Check it out:

Search across known leaked datasets by name, email, domain, or keyword - all from one place. 📂 The Library of Leaks is a DDoSecrets project. A discovery layer, not a data host - use it to find where breach material lives. Learn more:

New to OSINT and not sure where to start? The OSINT Investigator’s Toolkit is a searchable directory of free and paid OSINT tools Perfect for beginners and for discovering the core staples Simple, practical, and very handy

Is that phone number on Telegram? This Bellingcat tool tells you. 📱 A command-line script that checks numbers against Telegram's API - useful for identity verification and digital footprint mapping. Try it here:

WebRecon from @D4rk_Intel is another OSINT multi-tool worth knowing about. 🧠 It automates web crawling, tech stack detection, DNS &amp; WHOIS intel, email harvesting, Wayback lookups, and exports clean JSON reports. Try it here:

Find exposed PDFs, spreadsheets, and internal docs without writing a single search operator. 📄 File Phish builds advanced file-type queries across Google, Bing, Baidu, and more in seconds. Learn more:
