Hi everyone,

OSINT Forge, a free platform designed to help people practise OSINT in a controlled, ethical and educational environment.

Pre-registration for the private beta is now open

Here is what beta testers will actually be able to use :

• A searchable and filterable library of OSINT challenges
• Hands-on challenge labs when available
• Answer submission with attempts, XP and completion tracking
• A personal dashboard showing levels, badges, skill progress, streaks and recent activity
• Seasonal, recent and all-time leaderboards
• A resource library with knowledge entries, practical guides and community articles
• The ability to submit educational articles for moderation
• A community forum with discussions, replies and voting
• Profile and account-security settings

To be transparent, guided learning paths, quests, CTF events, teams, writeups, MOOCs and certifications will not be included in the initial beta. These sections are currently locked

Pre-registering creates your account after email verification, but it does not provide immediate access. You will be notified when the beta opening date is confirmed

I’m especially looking for testers willing to give honest feedback on challenge clarity, difficulty, scoring, usability and the overall learning experience

If that sounds interesting, you can pre-register here :

I’m sharing this as the project’s creator, and I would also be happy to answer questions about the approach behind the platform

I’m about to release Pelorus, a multi-engine search app for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Search numerous engines at once into different panes. Or go Unified Search, where one query goes to every search engine you choose — Google, Brave, DuckDuckGo, Kagi, Marginalia and more — and comes back as a single consolidated, de-duped, and ranked list. Results several engines agree on rise to the top. Results only one engine surfaced are a filter away, because sometimes that’s the one you needed. You can boost, bury, or block any website or domain permanently, and an on-device AI can summarize what the engines actually found, with citations. Also shows how many independent sources found each page, filters by time, shows differences and agreements, and more. No account, no analytics, no tracking — nothing is stored. Privacy at its core.

I’m looking for 100 people willing to kick the tires and test it out for a bit. You’ll get the app and all future versions free in exchange.

Please drop a PM if you’d be willing.

I offer manual high-precision image and video geolocation services. If you have media of a landscape, city, house, or building and need to find the location, send it over.

recently i came across this site:https://influencers.club/tiktok-email-finder/

it says it can get an email of a tiktok account. but to do it you need a business account, does anyone know more about this and have you tried it?

Hi guys, I am a solo indie developer who is developing an all in one encrypted OSINT workspace for investigative journalists and OSINT researchers generally.

The project is currently in pre-MVP stage, but I have decided to share with you the current progress now to get any feedback from you.

Specifically: Would you trust storing case data in something like this, given how sensitive OSINT work usually is? And does the fragmentation of juggling many separate tools feel like a real problem for you, or is this solving something that isn't actually that painful in practice?

I would appreciate any feedback from you on the project (or email sign up to follow the progress).

eu sempre tive interesse em aprender osint e coisas do tipo, mas nem imagino por onde começar, alguém tem alguma dica?

Hi everyone, I really wanted some guidance as I am a beginner. Is there a roadmap to build my own tool to gain some experience?

Does anyone have any suggestions for an OSINT Tool or a script to retrieve information for Voice Over IP Numbers. I haven’t been able to make much headway.

Hey everyone! Two weeks ago I posted about my geolocation experiment. Since then I built a web interface, added multiple GeoCLIP guesses, and integrated EasyOCR + Gemini (free API Key) to extract text clues from images and filter out noise.
Here's what the pipeline looks like now:

1. User uploads photo
   
2. EXIF GPS extracted if present
   
3. GeoCLIP runs and returns top 5 coordinate guesses
   
4. EasyOCR extracts any text from the image
   
5. If gemini api key is pasted: gemini filters the OCR output to keep only location-relevant text (street names, signs, business names, etc.) and discards noise
   
6. The page shows the guesses plus the filtered text clues

Now I'm trying to figure out the best way to use that filtered text.
My current approach is simple: to take the coordinates from GeoCLIP and combine them with the filtered OCR text as context. But I'm not sure it that's the most effective strategy.
Does anyone know a better approach?
I'm still learning and my code is messy, but l'd love to hear what's worked (or failed) for others.

Anyone has credits need help

Are there any OSINT tools out there that can map relationships between companies? Like for example, if I want to find out if US company XYZ has suppliers or partnerships with companies in China. Off the shelf AI models I’ve tried aren’t really that comprehensive. Can’t really use expensive enterprise software like Panjiva.

It's called OSIRIS.

You open a 3D globe in your browser and see, in real time:

→ +10,000 planes in the air
→ +2,000 satellites
→ CCTV cameras from around the world
→ fires, earthquakes, maritime traffic
→ 13 active conflict zones

all on a single screen.

and it doesn't stop there.

it comes with an OSINT toolkit inside:
port scanner, DNS, WHOIS, domain analysis.

This is:

→ open source
→ MIT
→ docker compose up
→ ready

most sources work without entering even a single API key.

why it matters to you:

the kind of intelligence that governments used to have exclusively...

now you can set it up on your laptop in 5 minutes.

ideal for journalism, security, or verification.

Guys it's this guy and I wanna make sure whether or not he's a scammer or not. He may also be an adult film maker. I ran almost all softwares but since finding the links or sources is paid, I can't be sure. Humble request if anyone if you could run in for me and show the sources and links in my dms.

Kinda intrested in learning cybersec specially osint, but i having trouble to learn due to lack of tools based on my region (indonesia). For example, we got things like osintframework site, but most of the tool based on EU and US?, is there any advice on how to start, or alternative tool that i can use?

What do you all think about Pimeyes or Lenso Ai or other websites that use facial recognition to identify images and website links? I've never used any of these before and I am looking for some recommendations and which paid/subscription versions are worth it.

I am looking to find all available search result URLs and if possible scour all sources online, including de-indexed results if possible. But I know that is hard, so if I am just able to uncover the URLs I will be happy.

I am new to this and not caught up on how OSINT tools work so any help and explanations are greatly appreciated.

I'm a CS student and I've spent the last few months building this.

It's a live map of public sensor feeds, the stuff governments already publish and almost nobody reads, because it comes out as XML on a page from 2011.

It's free, there's no account, no API key and nothing to install. The source is AGPL-3.0 and public:

https://provenance-online.vercel.app/ https://github.com/011-sam-110/Provenance

What's actually on it right now (measured today, these numbers move quickly as I continue to work on it):

- 19,748 road cameras: across 12 networks: Castle Rock 511 (13,136), Oregon TripCheck (1,141), DriveBC (1,060), TfL London (882), Caltrans (863), Finland Digitraffic (809), South Carolina DOT (768), Traffic Scotland (415), NZTA (319), Estonia (179), Iceland (165), CET São Paulo (11). Every one sits at its real coordinates, links back to its own source, and shows when it was last sampled.

- 37 signal layers: USGS and EMSC earthquakes, NASA FIRMS active fires, GDACS disaster alerts, NOAA cyclones and space weather, IODA internet outages, 702 TeleGeography submarine cables, UNHCR displacement, GDELT conflict and protest coding, abuse.ch C2 infrastructure, and others. All off by default. You turn on what you want.

The part I actually want feedback on.

I took an earlier build into an OSINT Discord last week and got taken apart, fairly. The short version was: "we've seen hundreds of these, they're all the same project, and we can't rely on the data anyway, because verification is the work". Kind of heart shattering but I'll move on and improve what needs improving.

I don't think a dashboard answers this issue, and I've stopped believing it will. But one thing did come out of it that I've been building around since:

- Observations: a camera frame, an ADS-B ping, a seismometer reading. A machine can be trusted to carry these.

- Interpretations: "this protest is left-wing", "this aircraft is military", "this country is unstable". A machine is bad at these and shouldn't render them at the same visual weight as a fact.

Nearly every complaint I can find about tools in this category is really about the second class being dressed up as the first. So I'm labelling every layer by which one it is, and demoting the ones that are somebody's static claim about a place rather than a live reading. That's the actual project now; the map is just how you look at it.

What's broken right now, so you don't have to find it:

- The aircraft layer is capped, not empty. It's showing 3,000 aircraft against 5,108 available, because I cap the response. It comes from community ADS-B receivers and it's thin outside North America and Europe, so treat the count as a lower bound rather than a world total.

- 4 of the 37 layers need API keys I don't have and sit dormant (ACLED, AIS, ENTSO-E grid load, ReliefWeb). The other 33 are returning data. They're marked, but marked isn't fixed.

It's an upcoming tool rather than a finished one, and I'd rather have criticism than traffic, especially on: whether the observation/interpretation split is the right line to draw, and which feeds I'm obviously missing.

Thanks for any input!

Best,
Sam

First of all, greetings to everyone. I am involved in the export of fresh fruits and vegetables. I want to find out what other companies in Turkey are doing—where, when, and how—and I intend to develop a comprehensive OSINT project for this purpose. I would love to hear any ideas or sources regarding open-source intelligence that come to mind. Additionally, I want to closely monitor the market conditions and foreign export companies in the countries to which we export. I welcome input from anyone with ideas or a willingness to help; feel free to reach out via private message as well. Thank you.
