OSINT Framework

Notes

OSINT framework focused on gathering information from free tools or resources. The intention is to help people find free OSINT resources. Some of the sites included might require registration or offer more data for $$$, but you should be able to get at least a portion of the available information for no cost.

I originally created this framework with an information security point of view. Since then, the response from other fields and disciplines has been incredible. I would love to be able to include any other OSINT resources, especially from fields outside of infosec. Please let me know about anything that might be missing!

Please visit the framework at the link below and good hunting!

pricing string free, freemium, or paid
bestFor string Primary use case in one line

Suggestions, Comments, Feedback

Feedback or new tool suggestions are extremely welcome! Please feel free to submit a pull request or open an issue on github or reach out on Twitter.

Contribute with a GitHub Pull Request

For new resources, please ensure that the site is available for public and free use.

  1. Update arf.json with your new tool entry in the appropriate category folder. Use the enriched format below:
{
  "name": "Example Name (T)",
  "type": "url",
  "url": "https://example.com",
  "description": "Brief description of what the tool does and its key capabilities.",
  "status": "live",
  "pricing": "free",
  "bestFor": "Primary use case in one sentence",
  "input": "What the tool accepts (e.g., Username, Domain, IP address)",
  "output": "What the tool returns (e.g., Profile matches, DNS records)",
  "opsec": "passive",
  "opsecNote": "Any operational security considerations for using this tool.",
  "localInstall": true,
  "googleDork": false,
  "registration": false,
  "editUrl": false,
  "api": false,
  "invitationOnly": false,
  "deprecated": false
}

At a minimum, include name, type, and url. The metadata fields are strongly encouraged as they help users understand each tool at a glance.

Append (T), (D), (R), or (M) to the name when applicable, and set the corresponding boolean field to true.

OSINT-Framework
这是什么？OSINT Framework 是一个经过整理、可浏览的免费 OSINT（开源情报）工具和资源索引，按可点击的分类树组织，方便你为特定任务找到合适的工具。
这是工具，还是只是一个链接列表？它是一个网站：一个可视化的树状菜单，每个节点都链接到外部的 OSINT 工具或网站，它本身并不是自己执行查询的软件。
我该怎么使用它？打开托管的 OSINT Framework 网站，点击分类树找到你需要的资源；如果想在本地运行，仓库会用 python3 -m http.server 8000 从 ./public 提供这个静态网站。
浏览它需要安装什么吗？不需要，它没有列出任何运行时依赖；它是一个静态网站，不过仓库中包含一个供维护者使用的 Cloudflare Workers 部署/预览脚本（wrangler）。
所有链接的工具都可以免费使用吗？大多数条目是免费的，但有些需要注册，有些是 Google dorks，有些需要手动编辑 URL，还有些是需要自行安装的本地工具；它们分别用 (R)、(D)、(M) 或 (T) 标注。
这是面向谁的？它最初是从信息安全和侦察的角度构建的，但作者指出，现在它也服务于安全领域以外、需要公共记录研究工具的人群。
每个工具条目是怎样描述的？底层 arf.json 文件中的条目可以包含元数据，例如 description、status（live/degraded/down/deprecated）、pricing、bestFor、输入/输出类型、OPSEC（操作安全）注意事项，以及该工具是否提供 API 或是否需要邀请才能使用。
我如何建议或添加新工具？提交一个拉取请求（pull request），更新对应分类下的 arf.json，至少包含 name、type 和 url，并遵循增强的元数据格式和标记约定。
这个项目还在维护吗？还在维护。项目积极接受通过 GitHub Issues 或拉取请求提交的新资源建议，并在其数据文件中跟踪工具状态（live、degraded、down、deprecated）。
