New search engine from @dancho_danchev developed especially for #osint specialists!
It has many filters and advanced search operators that can help you analyse the information you find more quickly and effectively.
I will talk more about them in this🧵
It's possible to filter results by filetype, language, domain, author, keywords and protocol (https or http) and also sort by date.
🧵
All the filters mentioned in the previous tweet are available not only for searching web pages, but also for searching pictures.
🧵
The osint.ngrok.io also has many advanced search operators that you rarely see on other search engines:
The search results can be downloaded as a JSON file or RSS feed for automated analysis.
🧵
Note that this tool has only been launched for two days and it is very interesting to see how it develops further. You can follow updates on the developer's Twitter @dancho_danchev or on his personal blog ddanchev.blogspot.com
Why do so many people think a hacker is a man with glasses, a ridiculous jumper, disheveled hair and crazy eyes?
It's all this movie's fault:

It is worth noting that many of the young people involved in the film have had brilliant careers, become very famous people and some of them have Twitter accounts:
If you are interested in developing #osint tools (or #osint in general), I recommend you to subscribe to github.com/soxoj. He is one of the #opensource developers who have made huge contributions to the #osint community.
In this thread🧵 I'll talk about his main projects.
🧵(1/8) Maigret
One of the world's most versatile tools for searching social media accounts by username:
- support more than 2500+ sites;
- profiles pages parsing;
- extraction of personal info.
Today I finally got my act together and put my collection's headings in order (although there's still work to be done). There are now more than a hundred sections.
Dozens of different distributions are available as Virtual Machines and you can try them in 5-15 minutes (taking into account the time to download, configure and run).
(and there are also ready-made Live USB images)

Excuse 2. Hard to install Apps
There are now app stores for Linux that allow you to quickly install all the essentials (office applications, messengers etc) just as quickly as you can in the App Store or Google Play.
9 good APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) for #OSINT
(FREE or partially FREE)
(1/12) 🧵🧵🧵
Before I start listing, let me remind that you don't have to open a command line or write code to test the API. You can simply use one of the many online tools.
FREE API returns creation date, updated date, expiration date, domain age, the contact information of the registrant (address, phone, email) and much more
