01Why we are building it

Attackers start with public information. Most defenders never look at it.

Reconnaissance is the first step of most intrusions. Much of what an attacker needs to plan an approach is already in public view.

Security teams usually gather this information by hand, with a mix of free tools, only when an assessment calls for it. The picture is out of date as soon as it is finished. The OSINT Tool is being built to make that collection continuous and repeatable.

02Architecture

Designed architecture

  1. Collect

    Publicly available information about the organization

  2. Organize

    Brought together into one view

  3. Monitor

    Collected again over time to show what has changed

Collection

Gather what is publicly discoverable

The tool is designed to bring publicly available information about an organization into one place, so an analyst starts from a collected picture instead of a blank page.

Organization

Turn scattered findings into one view

What is collected is organized into a single view that a security team can review and act on.

Monitoring

Keep watching, because exposure changes

A single search is a snapshot. The tool is designed to repeat collection over time and show what has changed.

03Designed for

The situations it is being built for.

  • Understanding external exposure

    See what is publicly known about an organization, the way an outsider would see it.

  • Preparing security assessments

    Start an assessment from a collected picture of public information instead of a blank page.

  • Supporting investigations

    Add public context to an investigation.

04Principles

Design principles

Public sources, lawful use
The tool is designed to work with publicly available information and to be used within the law and with authorization.
Built for repeat use
Collection that can be re-run and compared is more useful than a one-off report.
