OPEN SOURCE INTELLIGENCE CENTER

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.

I built my childhood dream: an open-source intelligence workspace inspired by platforms like Palantir

Ever since I was a kid, I was fascinated by spy movies, hacker movies, and the huge intelligence maps you always saw on screen.

As I got older, I realized there are real platforms that solve similar problems, but they're generally proprietary and out of reach for most developers.

I kept wondering what an open-source version could look like.

So over the past few weeks I've been building Akashic.

Akashic is a self-hosted intelligence workspace that brings together aircraft, satellites, earthquakes, weather, public radio, infrastructure, country intelligence, public cameras, and other OSINT sources onto a single interactive map.

The goal isn't to replace every existing service.

It's to make exploration easier.

Instead of switching between multiple websites, you can combine layers, inspect entities directly on the map, and correlate information from different public sources in one workspace.

Current highlights:

• Open source (MIT)

• Self-hosted

• No mandatory API keys

• Built in public

This is still an early project, so I'd genuinely appreciate feedback on the direction, missing features, or things you'd like to see.

For those doing OSINT regularly - what's the most annoying manual step in your workflow that you wish was automated? Not asking about a specific tool, just curious where people lose the most time.

OathNet is probably the most underrated IntelX / DeHashed alternative right now

I've known about OathNet since pretty much the start, and I still think a lot of people are sleeping on it.

IntelX has massive numbers, but a lot of the results I've seen are duplicate combo lists and repeated credentials. I don't need the same email showing up 20 times.

OathNet feels much more investigation-focused.

The infostealer side gives you the victim context, machine info, domains, services, identities, metadata and even the original file tree.

You can also pivot through fields like:

>email / username / phone / IP
domain / subdomain
Discord ID / Steam ID / Instagram ID / Twitter ID
HWID
service / OS
social + gaming identifiers

I mainly use it to monitor my own emails and accounts I manage through my agency, so I can catch exposed credentials early and rotate them before they become a security issue.

I'm on Pro and honestly it's more than enough for my use case. Paying around $30/mo instead of €2.5K/year for IntelX Researcher is a huge relief.

Their cheapest plan costs only $9.99/mo.

They're also running an anniversary promo right now with 30% off, so the plans are even cheaper at the moment, which is kind of insane for what you get. psst the coupon name is : ANIV30

I'll attach a few screenshots of the stealer view + file tree because that's the part that sold me.

I forgot to mention that it shows the amount of exposed cookies and the infection path, from where the infostealer was ran from.

This is the filetree view which is absolutely insane

SoCal Job Search — Intelligence / OSINT / Cybersecurity / Investigative Analysis

Hi everyone! F/ 26; I’m relocating to Southern California and starting my search for my next professional opportunity. I thought I’d reach out here in case anyone has leads, recommendations, or connections in these fields.
My professional background includes federal investigative analysis, cybersecurity/data analysis, OSINT, research, and communications. I previously supported the Department of Homeland Security as a federal contractor/investigative analyst and later worked in the private cybersecurity sector, where my experience included attack surface discovery, internet-facing asset analysis, data validation, open-source research, and supporting public-sector cybersecurity initiatives.
I currently volunteer with an NGO focused on school violence prevention, which was founded by professionals with backgrounds in DHS, law enforcement, and the U.S. military. My work there includes reviewing academic research and literature, communications, social media strategy, and developing research-focused publications/newsletters.
Academically, I hold a Master’s degree in Criminology, Law & Society, along with bachelor’s degrees in Criminal Justice/Criminology and Anthropology and a minor in Sociology.
I’m particularly interested in opportunities involving:
Intelligence or investigative analysis
OSINT
Cybersecurity / attack surface analysis
Threat, risk, or security analysis
Government or defense contracting
Research and data analysis
Adjacent roles where my investigative and analytical background would transfer well
📍 I’m looking throughout Southern California and am also open to remote or hybrid opportunities.
For privacy, I’m not posting my full résumé, LinkedIn, or personal contact information publicly, but I’m happy to share them privately with anyone who has a legitimate lead or would be open to connecting.
If your organization is hiring, you know of a team that might align with my experience, or you work in one of these fields and wouldn’t mind connecting, please feel free to DM me. I’d really appreciate any leads or introductions. Thank you!

Will OSINT techniques of today become useless one day when everyone becomes private and hackers will rule the world of information collecting?

I feel like as more and more people become aware of how much of their private info they are displaying publically and how non-hackers can find out so much info about people - people will start becoming super private

Personal data will only stay with the big companies etc. It’ll all be locked away behind encryption. Only hackers will be able to get to it

Governments might also make public records private, as people demand more privacy. Maybe?

So do you think that the OSINT techniques of today will go away, and only hackers will be able to do the information gathering that OSINT non-hackers can do today?

What about like in the year 2050?

Can a solo programmer learn the machine learning used for OSINT within a reasonable amount of time and effort?

I know machine learning is used for a lot of OSINT stuff.

Like an AI that can look through pictures of interiors from real estate websites, to find out a potential address match from a picture of an interior. An AI that can detect what region a picture is from based on vegetation. An AI that can automatically detect city skyline shapes

I just wanted to know, can the average programmer learn it or is it something only big companies / teams can do?

How does one directly query OpenStreetMap? Without using a tool?

I guess this is a question more on the programming side of things

6 Open Source Tools to Query OpenStreetMap

So there's this link, which shows tools to query OpenStreetMap. It seems like they do all the code for you

Is there any way to write the code yourself, to be able to query OpenStreetMap?

What programming language(s) do you need?

This is a repo of one of the tools:

MANTIS Posture - Free and opensource digital footprint scan

I'm building MANTIS POSTURE, an open-source self-OSINT tool to help you find and reduce your own digital exposure.

It's still a rough alpha, and I'm looking for a few people willing to actually test it. Break it, find bad results, tell me what I'm missing. That's more useful to me than compliments.

Looking To Hire - USA Based Entry-Level OSINT Contractor (Social Media Investigations) - Licensed Private Investigation firm operating in PA, MD, DE, and NJ.

Hello everyone! We are looking to expand our OSINT team and are currently hiring Entry-Level OSINT Contractors (Social Media Investigations). We are a licensed Private Investigation firm operating in PA, MD, DE, and NJ.

Years ago, I got into OSINT as a hobby. I loved being a part of the community—participating in several TraceLabs CTF events and volunteering on various OSINT research projects. When I finally wanted to transition into doing this professionally, I actually landed my first OSINT contracting role from someone right here on Reddit who posted something very similar to this.

It turned out to be a great experience, and now I am coming full circle to find someone to expand my own OSINT team. I'm hoping to find someone out there who, just like I did, has a passion and a knack for OSINT and wants to gain some professional experience while continuing to learn.

Apprenticeship w CyberSecurity Engineer

Hi guys,

Is anybody willing to take an apprentice?

About me:

I work in cybersecurity engineering (background of cloud security and currently in AI security and compliance)

Outside of work I'm interested in CTF style games (I'm top 2% on tryhackme and now switching to HTB) I'm trying to learn OSINT from such games and recently I got a personal real case where a relative wanted to know about someone a family member is dating who was very suspicious and could potentially be a danger to the person.

However, I seem to be lagging behind the industry's recent tools and practices, and if I wanted a career switch, it would be nearly impossible with the level I'm at right now. That is why I'm looking for a professional who could use my help in return for sharing their knowledge and experience with me, as I have a day job I may be able to dedicate around 2-4 hours of my day for this job. Btw I'm residing in SEA right now.
