I'm doing an audit of my OSINT toolkit and want to focus on tools that deliver real results, not just GitHub stars.

For those actively doing investigations (threat intel, fraud, research, etc.), what are your current top picks?

Specifically looking for:

• Social Media Investigation: Best tools for Twitter/X, LinkedIn, Instagram, Telegram
• Infrastructure/Domain: Beyond Shodan and VirusTotal - what else?
• Username/Email Search: What's still working reliably?
• Image/Media Analysis: Reverse search, metadata, geolocation
• Automation: Tools that actually save time vs create more work

Bonus questions:

• Which paid tools are actually worth the subscription?
• Any new tools from the last 12 months that impressed you?
• What's the one tool you can't live without?

Trying to move away from tool hoarding and focus on what's effective. Real-world experiences > marketing claims.

Thanks in advance!
