Nobody's impressed by OSINT on the big social platforms anymore: plenty of tools do that. The hard part is everything else. Maigret 0.6.6 now checks almost 6000 sites, including niche forums, discussion boards and wikis -- where the real leads live. Try it: soxoj.com/maigret-r066-x

Did you know a Telegram bot keeps its full chat history on Telegram servers? With the bot token, you can get all of it. My tool telegram-bot-dumper now renders the dump like Telegram Web: chat list, media, search. Use cases: pentest, recon, malware analysis 🛠 👉 github.com/soxoj/telegram-bo…

Maigret 0.6.3 is out! 🕵️ 115 site checks fixed, 15 new sites added, better Chinese-site support, improved Cloudflare bypass, and upgraded PDF templates. Over the past few months, I’ve been receiving more and more fixes from the community. Maigret now gets over 100K installs per month, with more than 1M installs in total! 🚀 👉 Try it yourself: github.com/soxoj/maigret#in-…

At probably the hottest @_leHACK_ ever, I presented my new cybersecurity tool for penetration testers: 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐢𝐏𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞 🔥 CommiPiste can 𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐱𝐚𝐜𝐭 𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐧-𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐜𝐞 𝐰𝐞𝐛 𝐬𝐨𝐟𝐭𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐞 using only publicly accessible static files and then 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐕𝐄𝐬 associated with that version. It can be especially useful when version information is hidden, removed from headers, or unavailable through conventional fingerprinting methods 🔎 It already supports 300 𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐬. For some of them, CommiPiste uses a complete index of commits, while others are identified through smart heuristics 🛠️ 👉 𝐆𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐢𝐭 𝐚 𝐭𝐫𝐲: github.com/soxoj/CommiPiste P.S. huge thank you to @navlys__ for organizing such a great event, and especially for the OSINT Village. As always, absolutely top-notch! 🙌 P.P.S. big thanks to the person behind the idea and just an awesome guy, paranoid android 😉

My train from Amsterdam to Paris was cancelled due to the heat 🥵, but I’m still coming to leHACK! See you at OSINT Village — feel free to reach out! ✌️

Just a reminder: I maintain socid-extractor, an open-source Python tool that extracts account data from 130+ sites. 👉 Usernames, bios, avatars, follower counts, external links — plus the stable internal identifiers that survive renames and let you re-identify accounts across leaks and archives. No API keys, no headless browser, normalized field names and ontology, MIT license. ✅ Powers Maigret 🕵️‍♂️ and a number of other OSINT tools. Don't hesitate to give it a ⭐! 🔗 github.com/soxoj/socid-extra…

Who is behind a shared post, article, or document? Sharetrace can help find the answer across 17 platforms.🧩 In the latest update, @HHieupc added support for LinkedIn, GitLab, and Hugging Face. 🔥 A critical step toward faster attribution, footprint analysis, and OSINT investigations from just a shared link! 🔎 Try online: - Web UI by @henkvaness: share.whopostedwhat.com/ - Telegram bot: t.me/sharetrace_bot

OSINT tools should give you actionable leads, not just random URLs and raw data 🫡 My open source tool Maigret has always been able to search by username, but making sense of the results was up to the user. I've now added AI analytics and identity resolution, so you can get fast conclusions about a target across 3000 sites. Over the last few weeks, I also rewrote Maigret and cleaned up the checks database. Near-zero false positives. Open source. MIT licensed. Want to know why such a powerful tool is open? Apply via the link below and add the comment: “show me Crimewall QuickLink mode” — and see how insanely far the commercial tools I'm building go beyond this. 👉 Learn more about QuickLink: sociallinks.io/products/sl-c…

Three new ways to reveal who's behind the URL: 1️⃣ Public Google Docs/Drive — owner's email + ID 2️⃣ GitHub commit/profile — committer email 3️⃣ Notion public page — editor names, emails, photos 🔗 github.com/soxoj/sharetrace Credits and acknowledgements to: - @HHieupc - Google Docs and GitHub PR - @mxrchreborn, @palenath - Google Docs technique (xeuledoc) - cavo789 - GitHub .patch trick - @SpongeBhav - Notion block-permission UUID leak - @weezerosint - amplified the Notion discovery FYI @cyb_detective @henkvaness

Three standout open-source #osint username search tools right now: Blackbird, Aliens_eye, and Naminter 🚀 I finally updated my list of username search tools 👇, retested a bunch of them, and these 3 really stood out. Huge thanks to their creators for building genuinely useful tools and pushing username-based OSINT forward 🔥 @p1ngul1n0 @3xp0rtblog arxhr007 Full list on GitHub: github.com/soxoj/osint-namec…

🎭 ShareTrace: reveal the identity behind any share link Works for 12 platforms: TikTok, Instagram, Discord, Google Drive, Notion, Telegram, Pinterest, Substack, Suno, ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity. Original repo was deleted — I rebuilt it with new platforms and fixes. 👉 github.com/soxoj/sharetrace

MCP + OSINT is a powerful combo 🔥 Instead of figuring out how to run CLI tools, just ask your LLM — and it runs Shodan queries, Maigret lookups, DNS fuzzing, and threat intel checks for you. So, I've made a curated list of OSINT MCP servers. Take a look, try plugging something into your AI tool, or submit a new one! 👉 github.com/soxoj/awesome-osi…

Tested it. Filters and transcript search are especially 🔥🔥🔥
