Alright time for another @hunchly thread. This will show you how to setup a YouTube downloading data forwarder on your local machine with just a little #Python
Here we go #OSINT and #cybersecurity folks!

First you need Python 3.x and then install pytube and flask from the commandline:
#pip install pytube3 flask
2/n
#pip install pytube3 flask

Now you can download my little test script from here:
gist.github.com/automatingosin…
Drop it into a folder where you can find it, and easily edit it.

Edit the file and you will want to change the listening IP address. If you are unsure you can run it on the same machine as your Hunchly instance and set it to: 127.0.0.1
Otherwise, set it to an IP address that your Hunchly desktop instances can reach.

Run that sucker! Now you should be ready to configure Hunchly. In the Dashboard, click the Settings gear in the top right and zoom down to the Data Forwarding section.
Enter in the IP address you set in your Python and click Save.

Do some browsing and head to Youtube.com. Click on a video and wait for a minute. You should see output in your Python terminal that shows that Hunchly is hitting your Flask server.
Once you hit a video URL you should see the video get downloaded.

The script outputs the video to the "videos" folder and the metadata and closed captioning text is stored in the "videodata" folder. This is super useful, and you can easily extend this example as I will show in a future post!
If you want some other examples just hit me up!
