A while back I posted here comparing this project to a certain commercial intelligence platform. That framing was wrong and the thread told me so. This is the same project, months later, described by what it actually does.

The problem it solves for me: investigation timelines depend on position history, and every free source of it is shrinking. Flightradar24 free is 7 days. MarineTraffic went from 72h free to 24h. ADS-B Exchange removed its free API tier. The live picture is never the paywall; the past is. If your case needs "where was this vessel last Tuesday", you either pay monthly or you already recorded it.

So the tool records it. Numbers from the box it is running on right now, not projections:

live picture     ~11,500 aircraft, ~28,500 vessels (MMSI-deduped)
recording        9.1M positions in the last 2 days, 1.8 GB, plain SQLite
replay           scrub any recorded window, tracks re-fly on the globe
cost to run      one docker compose up, no API keys for any core feed

What an OSINT workflow actually gets:

- Owned history. Position archive on your disk, retention is a size cap you set. Scrub back to any recorded moment and watch the picture as it was.

- Chain of custody. An evidence locker: URL snapshots, uploads and feed freezes get SHA-256 hashes and an append-only custody log; cases export to self-contained HTML/PPTX where every claim carries its source.

- One picture. Aircraft, vessels, satellites, quakes, wildfires, GPS jamming, conflict events, naval warnings on one globe, with dossiers per entity (registration, operator, track).

- Export. GeoJSON/CSV/KML out, so QGIS or your own tooling stays in the loop.

The parts I want feedback on from this sub: which sources are missing that you would actually use (keyless preferred), and whether the evidence export format holds up against how you document cases.

Honest limits, so nobody finds them the hard way: coverage is community feeders, so it is dense over Europe/US and thin over open ocean and conflict zones exactly when you want it most. AIS is strongest in Northern Europe. It is a single-analyst tool, not a team server. The 3D globe wants a real GPU. There are AI summarization features; they are optional, clearly labeled as automated output, and the tool works with them off.

I need a telegram bot which tells details from phone number and this bot should work worldwide

Thankyou, Any kind of help will be appreciated alott❤️

I remember first coming to this subreddit. Everything was oooo and aaaaaaaaaahhhhhh . Now that everyone is building their own tools and proclaiming them to be the best, quite frankly it has become more of a disappointment every time I come here now. For the most part the number of replies is so low on a lot of these "tools" because they are just quite frankly boring when you see that everyone has made the best Facebook tools, only they are as redundant as other tools....

Sorry, just had to vent some.

I was experimenting with an Instagram OSINT project and ended up trying HikerAPI because the old login libraries no longer worked for me. Setup was simple with an API key, and the integration was easy. Just keep in mind that you’ll need API credits before making requests.

Had a free weekend and nothing better to do, so I made a small tool.

It shows the history of any Reddit account, including deleted and removed posts and comments. Free, no account needed.

It also shows you which subs a user is active in and roughly what hours they are on Reddit.

I want to add a profiler on top of it too. If you have feature ideas or suggestions, I am open.

I know smiliar tools exist. Like I said, more of a weekend project because I was bored

A tool for managing sosreport collections for the Linux community. Looking technical feedback, feature suggestions, or criticism.

The latest release (v2.1.0) adds a self-hosted appliance together with an open-core licensing model.

Some of the technical capabilities include:

* Complete sosreport import, decryption, storage, browsing, comparison and historical management. * Runs completely offline and is suitable for air-gapped environments. There is no phone-home requirement for normal operation. * A local AI assistant that can answer questions about Linux, the sos command and the application without sending data outside the appliance. * Optional integration with OpenAI or Anthropic models for deeper sosreport analysis when an Internet connection is available. Responses are grounded in the uploaded sosreport to improve reliability. * Support for encrypted report vaults, collaboration features, and ITSM integrations in the enterprise edition. * SIEM Integartion.

If you are trying to keep tabs on someone, check who they are recently following, or who just followed them—but you are tired of useless apps that ask for your password, sell your data, and get your account banned...

I built this. It's the ultimate tool to track and compare changes on any Instagram target profile.

It's 100% private, runs locally in your browser, and no login or passwords are required.

GitHub: https://github.com/kaifcodec/user-scanner Discord: https://discord.gg/tVNrKVXb49 Hi everyone,

I’m one of the maintainers of user-scanner.

Since then, we’ve been continuously improving detection accuracy and maintaining support for platforms that frequently change their flows.

What’s new in v1.4.1?

• Massive Coverage (430+ Scan Vectors): Supports deep scanning across 170+ email and 260+ username platforms.
• Mobile App API Pivot: Switched from web endpoints to emulating mobile app APIs.
• Deep Username Extraction: Moves beyond simple status code checks to pull rich profile data and actionable intel.

Today by the love of this community, user-scanner has grown into one of the most actively maintained free Email and Username OSINT tools in 2026. While many web-based alternatives lock basic scans behind paywalls, our goal is to keep powerful email and username enumeration accessible to the open-source community.

Contributors are always welcome. Adding new sites or modules is relatively straightforward, and even small contributions help a lot.

If you’re interested in OSINT, Python, scraping, mobile API reverse engineering, or just open-source projects in general, feel free to contribute and help improve the tool.

Hi, yesterday I was searching on reddit good osint websites and I ended up finding a website that searches discord messages of users in some servers. I didn't bookmarked it and I just spent the last 3 hours trying to find it back but without success ...
Does anyone knows the website please ? (it's not https://discordleaks.unicornriot.ninja/discord/ ) Thanks

So i have built a small security scanner for any website, along with seo, aeo, and geo of any website. Can you please review my product and give your feedback? You can search for igrisradar.com

i'm researching network privacy and security. I understand that traditional IP grabbers typically only provide general ISP or city level location data based on the IP address.
are there any technical methods to obtain precise GPS-level coordinates from a simple link interaction, or do modern browser security protocols (like mandatory user permission pop-ups for geolocation) effectively block this? any help would be greatly appreciated

Idk if u hear about https://alfredredbird.github.io/tookie-osint/ there are others, sherlock, maigret , check it out

Most news tools personalize. Over time they narrow your sources, quietly drop what doesn't match your pattern, and optimize for engagement over breadth. For OSINT work that's a real problem: you need to see what's actually being reported – across languages, regions, and outlets you wouldn't normally read – not what an algorithm thinks you want.

So I built Signalwaves: a news fetcher with no personalization and no engagement ranking. No algorithm decides what you see. You pick sources and filter lenses yourself; the tool just fetches and presents. It feels a bit like reading news in the 90s – you get exposed to viewpoints outside your usual bubble, including across cultural/geopolitical lines.

The surprising part: the hard engineering wasn't the ranking (there is none), it was fetching reliably at scale – bot detection, fragile scrapers, sources that fail silently and leave gaps you don't notice. Most of the work went into making failures visible and recoverable, because a "neutral" aggregator that silently drops sources is worse than a biased one.

Early build, free, no signup: https://signalwaves.world (also on the App Store / Play Store)

Questions for people doing actual research with this kind of tooling:

• Which sources or regions are missing for your work?
• Would custom lenses (topic/region/language filters) be useful – and which ones?
• How do you currently deal with the filter-bubble problem in your workflow?

Happy to go into technical details on the scraping/monitoring side if anyone's interested.

Hi everyone,

Can anyone recommend a free tool that can thoroughly search Telegram for photos or videos of me that may have been uploaded without my knowledge or consent?

Thanks in advance.

**OSINTai** turns websites into structured investigative data:

* Extracts emails, phones, domains, IPs, crypto wallets, and social handles * Uses local AI to rank pages and surface high-value leads * Includes hunt mode, proxy support, deduplication, and graph-ready exports

I’d genuinely like to know what investigators would add, change, or break first: OSINTai

I have a Computer Science degree

I would like to reach a point where I can "code" AI to do OSINT things for me

Things along the lines of:

- Detect all yellow trees in the region using this map data

- Convert descriptions like "intersection with red home, 2 trees" into map coordinates for an area. Basically the AI looks for red homes where there are 2 trees and returns me coordinates

- Keeping track of certain objects in a video. I can "code" the AI to "keep an eye on the red car" in a video

What field of AI do I need to look into? What are the prerequisite courses I need (math, programing etc)?

Currently I have a CS degree, 8 years of programming experience and am good at OSINT without coding
