I Built an OSINT Tool to Automate Recon Across 100+ Platforms

Manual reconnaissance is slow, repetitive, and honestly… pretty inefficient.

So I built GhostIntel — a lightweight OSINT tool that automates recon across multiple platforms in one place.

🧠 What is GhostIntel?

GhostIntel is an open-source tool designed to simplify how you gather publicly available information.

Instead of jumping between different tools or manually searching, GhostIntel helps automate the process and return structured results.

⚙️ Features

• 🔍 Username enumeration across 100+ platforms
• 📧 Email footprint analysis
• 🌐 Domain reconnaissance
• 📱 Basic phone lookup
• 🧩 Modular and easy to extend

💡 Why I built this

While learning about OSINT and reconnaissance, I noticed that most tools are either too complex or too fragmented.

I wanted something that is:

• Simple
• Fast
• Actually useful

So I built GhostIntel as a personal project to learn while solving a real problem.

🛠️ Tech Stack

• Python
• CLI-based interface
• JSON-based configs

🚀 Getting Started

git clone https://github.com/ruyynn/GhostIntel
cd GhostIntel
pip install -r requirements.txt
python ghostintel.py -h

📌 What’s next?

I’m currently working on:

• Report generation (HTML / PDF)
• Better data correlation
• Graph visualization
• More platform integrations

🤝 Feedback

This project is still evolving, and I’d really appreciate feedback from the community 🙌
