With the New Year fast approaching I thought now would be a great time to post the first draft of some
recommended Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) gathering tools and resources. I will look to maintain
this list overtime and have it grow, so if you come across something you think should be on the list,
drop me an email or leave a comment for consideration.
The reconnaissance phase of any engagement is very important and can often save you alot of time
and of course money. If you are really lucky you may even find the information you are looking for
freely available posted online. Either way the information you find will only be as good as the tools you
use, so with this in mind here is the list based on tools I have come across over the years or have
been recommended by other InfoSec peeps.
* Please note even though the aim is to provide information for free OSINT Tools, some may require a subscription or commercial fee.
Spokeo - People search engine and free white pages finds phone, address, email, and photos.
Find people by name, email, address, and phone for free.
theHarvester - This tool is intended to help Penetration testers in the early stages of the
penetration test in order to understand the customer footprint on the Internet. It is also useful for
anyone that wants to know what an attacker can see about their organization.
Foca - FOCA 3.2 Free is a fingerprinrint and information gathering tool for pentesters. It searchs
for servers, domains, URLS and public documents and print out discoverd information in a
network tree. It also searches for data leaks such as metadata, directory listing, unsecure HTTP
methods, .listing or .DS_Store files, actived cache in DNS Serves, etc…
Shodan - Search for computers based on software, geography, operating system, IP address
and more
Maltego - Maltego is a unique platform developed to deliver a clear threat picture to the
environment that an organization owns and operates. Maltego’s unique advantage is to
demonstrate the complexity and severity of single points of failure as well as trust relationships
that exist currently within the scope of your infrastructure.

information, delineates results over interactive timelines, visualizes past trends, and maps future
events– all while providing traceability back to sources. From OSINT to classified data,
Recorded Future offers innovative, massively scalable solutions.

Snoopy - Snoopy is a distributed tracking and profiling framework
Stalker - STALKER is a tool to reconstruct all captured traffic (wired or wireless alike) and parse
out all of the “interesting” information disclosures. It goes beyond just grabbing passwords and
emails out of the air as it attempts to build a complete profile of your target(s). You would be
amazed at how much data you can collect in 15 minutes.

which automatically summarizes the Web for entities (such as people, locations and
organizations) with a modest web presence.
TinEye - TinEye is a reverse image search engine built by Idée currently in beta. Give it an
image and it will tell you where the image appears on the web.
Google Hacking DB - Google Search Query Fu to find the secret sauce
ServerSniff - ServerSniff.net – Your free “Swiss Army Knife” for networking, serverchecks and
routing with many many little toys and tools for administrators, webmasters, developers,
powerusers und security-aware users.

hosted on a given web server.
Social Mention - Social Mention is a social media search engine that searches user-generated
content such as blogs, comments, bookmarks, events, news, videos, and more
Glass Door - Search jobs then look inside. Company salaries, reviews, interview questions, and
more – all posted anonymously by employees and job seekers.
NameCHK - Check to see if your desired username or vanity url is still available at dozens of
popular Social Networking and Social Bookmarking websites.
Scythe - The ability to test a range of email addresses (or account names) across a range of
websites (e.g. social media, blogging platforms, etc…) to find where those “targets” have active
accounts.
Recon-NG – A nice Python Script that automates recon on LinkedIn, Jigsaw, Shodan and some
search engine fu.
Pushpin – Awesome little Python script that will identify every tweet, flicker pic and Youtube
video within an area of a specific Geo address.
Silobreaker – Enterprise Semantic Search Engine, allows virtualisation of data, analytics and
exploration of key data.
Google Trends – See what are the popular related topics people are searching for. This will help
widen your search scope.
Google Alerts - Google Alerts are email updates of the latest relevant Google results (web,
news, etc.) based on your queries.
Addict-o-matic – Nice little search aggregator. Allows you to enter a search term and build a
page from search and social networking sites.
PasteLert - PasteLert is a simple system to search pastebin.com and set up alerts (like google
alerts) for pastebin.com entries. This means you will automatically recieve email whenever your
term(s) is/are found in new pastebin entries!
Kurrently – Real Time Search Engine for Social Media.
CheckUsernames - Check for usernames across 160 Social Networking Sites.
Whos Talkin - social media search tool that allows users to search for conversations surrounding
the topics that they care about most.
192 - Search for People, Businesses and Places in the UK.
Esearchy - Esearchy is a small library capable of searching the internet for email addresses. It
can also search for emails within supported documents.
TouchGraph SEO – Java based tool for importing and visualising various data types.
TalkBack - Talkback is a web-based system to view trending vulnerability and security research
data mined from social-media.
Tweet Archivist - Tweets are ephemeral. Tweets disappear. Why? That’s the way Twitter is
designed. Tweet Archivist can save those tweets before they’re gone. Now, to be clear, Tweet
Archivist is not an archive of every tweet ever tweeted. It doesn’t have a database of all tweets.
Its not listed above, but of course popular Social Networks such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and
alike have a wealth of information. Of course also consider older sources that are now less popular, its
amazing what people leave behind on stuff like MySpace. Also remember that search engines show
you stuff thats popular, not perhaps the obscure stuff you are searching for, so get creative with your
search queries and use the various tools at your disposal.
Lastly I will add alot of Social Engineers dont have alot of global exposure, so do your homework of
where you are targeting. If you are targeting Japan for example their number 1 Social Network is not
Facebook, so you need to do recon in the right places, and put in the extra legwork to gain the
relevant access.

Wireless recon and exploitation may not be one of the techniques that first jumps to mind when you
think of Social Engineering, but its a valid attack vector for both the on premises recon and attacks
(direct to the wireless infrastructure) but also clientside (attacking the host on premise and in the
airport lounge).
With this in mind and the ever increasing usage of wireless technologies and a couple of requests
from people I thought it would be a great idea to put together another recommendations list of tools,
hardware and resources for anyone looking to get into wireless auditing or adding wireless attack
vectors to their current attack methodology (similar to my OSINT Tools Recommendations List ).
This page will be maintained and grown over time, if you know of a good tool, decent hardware or
resource please get it touch for consideration on adding it to this list.
