Open-Source Intelligence at Your Fingertips
Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) refers to the collection and analysis of information from publicly available sources. Our OSINT toolkit gives you the same investigative capabilities used by security researchers, journalists, and threat hunters — all from your browser, completely free.
Username Search Across the Web
A single username can reveal a person's presence across dozens of online platforms. Our Username Search tool checks 20+ popular platforms including GitHub, Reddit, Twitter/X, Instagram, YouTube, Telegram, Medium, Dev.to, TikTok, Twitch, and more. Whether you are investigating a suspicious account, reclaiming your digital identity, or conducting a background check, this tool maps out the digital footprint of any username in seconds.
Domain Infrastructure Analysis
Every website is built on a foundation of DNS records that control how traffic reaches it. Our Domain Deep Dive tool performs a comprehensive DNS lookup using Google's DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) API, retrieving A, AAAA, MX, NS, TXT, CNAME, and SOA records. This data reveals the underlying infrastructure of any domain, including its hosting provider, mail servers, and security configurations. Security professionals use this to detect phishing domains, identify shared hosting, and map organizational attack surfaces.
For example, if you receive an email from a suspicious domain, check its MX records to see if it uses a reputable mail provider. Or use TXT records to verify SPF, DKIM, and DMARC security configurations that tell you whether a domain is properly protected against email spoofing.
IP Address Geolocation
Every device connected to the internet has a public IP address that reveals its approximate geographic location and network provider. Our IP Geolocation tool traces any IPv4 address to its physical location (country, region, city), identifies the ISP and organization, and flags whether the IP belongs to a proxy, VPN, hosting datacenter, or mobile network.
This is invaluable for identifying the origin of attacks, verifying the authenticity of connections, and understanding the infrastructure behind suspicious websites. Combined with the Domain Deep Dive tool, you can often trace a threat from its domain name all the way to its physical hosting location.
Privacy & Ethical Use
Our OSINT tools only access publicly available information — the same data that is already visible to anyone who knows where to look. We do not access private accounts, bypass authentication, or scrape protected content. Use these tools responsibly and in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. OSINT is a powerful investigative technique, and with great power comes great responsibility.
- Username Search: Checks profile availability across 20+ public platforms. No private data is accessed.
- Domain Deep Dive: Uses Google Public DNS (dns.google) for DNS resolution. No domain data is stored permanently.
- IP Geolocation: Powered by ip-api.com's free tier. Results are cached for 1 hour to improve performance.
- No Logging: We do not store your search history. Cache entries expire automatically after 1 hour.
Use Cases
Our OSINT investigation toolkit serves a wide range of legitimate use cases:
- Security Researchers: Map attacker infrastructure by correlating domains, IPs, and usernames across platforms.
- Journalists: Verify the identity and online presence of sources and subjects.
- HR & Recruitment: Conduct public-facing background research on candidates (where legally permitted).
- Brand Protection: Detect impersonation accounts and squatted domains targeting your brand.
- Personal Security: Audit your own digital footprint to understand what information about you is publicly available.
OSINT Tool FAQ
Is it legal to use OSINT tools?
Yes, OSINT deals exclusively with publicly available information. However, how you use the information may be subject to laws in your jurisdiction. Always respect privacy laws, terms of service of the platforms you investigate, and use the tools ethically.
How accurate is the IP geolocation?
IP geolocation accuracy varies. Country-level data is highly reliable (~99%). City-level accuracy depends on the ISP and can range from 50-90%. We use ip-api.com which combines multiple data sources for the best accuracy available from free-tier services.
How many platforms does the username search check?
The username search checks 20 popular platforms including GitHub, Reddit, Twitter/X, Instagram, YouTube, Telegram, Medium, Dev.to, Pinterest, TikTok, Twitch, SoundCloud, Behance, Dribbble, Steam, Keybase, Replit, Mastodon, Product Hunt, and HackerNews.
