I built an OSINT tools directory

In plain words

An OSINT tools directory that aggregates over 100 open-source intelligence tools used by analysts, journalists, and security researchers. The directory organizes tools by risk level, platform, and use case, with filtering capabilities to help users find relevant resources. Built with static HTML and a SQL backend, it addresses the fragmentation of OSINT tools typically scattered across GitHub, blogs, and Discord servers. The directory is free and open to community contributions.

From the sources

Six free Reddit OSINT tools: behavioral user profiles, keyword trends, activity checks and archive search across 30B+ posts, including deleted content. No signup.

Six tools built on the same infrastructure that powers THINKPOL: a 30B+ post archive with sub-300ms response times. Used by investigators, SOC teams and OSINT professionals worldwide. Every tool queries a slice of the 30-billion-record archive through the same API our customers integrate. No signup, no Reddit account, nothing stored. AI-generated behavioral profile from any Reddit username. Cross-subreddit activity, writing style, posting patterns and linked aliases. 10 years of keyword popularity across 30B+ archived posts. Surface emerging narratives before they reach the news. Verify whether any Reddit user has been active in a specific subreddit. Useful for identity verification and…from r00m101.com

In the maker’s words, at launch

I work on R00M 101, a Reddit-based OSINT profiler. While building it, I realized most open-source intelligence (OSINT) tools are scattered across GitHub, outdated blog posts, or random Discords. So I put together a public-facing directory of 100+ OSINT tools used by analysts, journalists, and security folks, free…

  Osint tool that finds exposed files on domainsJul 2026 · search.cerast-intelligence.com · ▲58

  hey guys, wanted to show one of my side projects i just made public. the idea is basically another osint tool for pentesters and bug bounty hunters. it watches certificate transparency logs and checks newly-seen domains for exposed stuff like .env files, open .git dirs, config files, db dumps and so on, and puts whatever it finds into a searchable db. you just search a domain (or part of one) and see what's exposed. it's read-only and free. one thing i've been thinking about adding is a way to register for certain keywords and get notified when something new shows up for that search. would…

  Hey HN! Tired of hitting "Sign up for free" buttons only to discover the real limitations after creating an account? Or finding a "free" tool that adds watermarks to everything? Yeah, me too. I'm building kis.tools, a curated directory of tools that: Work instantly - registration only when technically necessary, have genuine free functionality, keep interfaces clean and focused, process data locally when possible, keep promotional messages or ads minimal and unobtrusive Think of it as a home for tools like Eric Meyer's Color Blender (running since 2003!) - tools that do one thing, do it…

  Talanoa▲337

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  I'm an airline pilot – I built interactive graphs/globes of my flights▲1,539

  Hey HN! Pilots everywhere are required to keep a logbook of all their flying hours, aircraft, airports, and so on. Since I track everything digitally (some people still just use paper logbooks!), I put together some data visualizations and a few 3D globes to show my flying history. This globe is probably my favourite so far: https://jameshard.ing/pilot/globes/all If you’ve got ideas for other graphs or ways to show this kind of data, I’d love to hear them!

  Workout.cool – Open-source fitness coaching platform▲827

  I was the main contributor to workout.lol, an open-source fitness app to easily build a workout routine. The project had traction (1.4k GitHub stars, 95 forks, ~20K visits/month), but was eventually sold due to video licensing hurdles. The new owner stopped maintaining it, and the repo went abandoned. Over the next 9 months, I sent 15 emails to try to save it : no replies. Feature requests & issues were ignored. The community was left with a "broken" tool let's say. I couldn't just let it die So I built the new version from scratch with the same open-source spirit, but a better…
