Digital Footprint OSINT Tool​

What is it?​

The Digital Footprint OSINT Tool is a powerful Open Source Intelligence tool for analyzing digital footprints across multiple platforms. This tool helps researchers and cybersecurity professionals map a person's online presence while adhering to privacy policies and platform requirements. The tool checks various spelling variations of the nickname using dots, underscores or hyphens. It analyzes possible domains and parses contact information when available.

Installation and Usage​

The tool is installed like most similar ones. Clone the repository and install the dependencies.

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/Digital-Footprint-OSINT-Tool.git
cd digital-footprint
pip install -r requirements.txt
python digital_footprint.py username

Run it with the nickname parameter we are searching for; let's take the common "johndoe" and check the tool's performance.

​

The tool performed well with domain outputs, providing all the necessary information. It also handled social networks adequately, with a small number of results justifiable by their popularity. However, there were issues with the output of contact information, which could not be resolved even with the use of proxies. The tool is decent and provides detailed information, but the output of contact information specifically needs improvement.

Gosearch​

What is it?​

GoSearch is an OSINT tool that allows you to find users' digital footprints on the internet and across various social networks, including integration with databases like HudsonRock and BreachDirectory.org to obtain information about cybercrimes and compromised passwords.

Installation and Usage​

The tool is written in Go, so it can be installed with a simple command:

go install github.com/ibnaleem/gosearch@latest

If it doesn't run, you can clone the repository and run the gosearch.go file.

git clone https://github.com/ibnaleem/gosearch
cd gosearch
go run gosearch.go

Let's run it using a nickname as a parameter.

​

There are virtually no questions regarding the output of websites and social networks - most of them are relevant in investigations. The output of databases is quite good, and in a real investigation, this can provide a lot of additional information. The domains were identified correctly.
