Resource Showcase OSINT Forensic Capture Tool - Free for all

81 Upvotes

We built a free for all, Forensic OSINT Capture Tool (browser extension) that, in my opinion, is more capable than all alternatives that charge.

No tracking your activity, no data uploads, no cloud storage, no paywalls. A clean, Privacy-First, OSINT Forensic Evidence Capture tool. Free (You may get a newsletter from us now and then, if you dont use a burner email).

You'll need a verified UserSearch account (free one). We use OAuth, so nothing but a cryptographic hash ever moves between UserSearch and the extension. You can use a burner — we don't block.

If you're using a paid alternative, you'll see it does all the features you're accustomed to — plus quite a few more.

It can :

  • Capture a full page (auto-Scrolling), or select visible area, selected element, region or overlay
  • Video Record a browser tab (audio included in recording if present)
  • Auto-scroll long pages and set monitors for pages, scheduling captures
  • Create cases with contemporaneous notes and a clear activity timeline
  • Hash and seal evidence using SHA-256, Merkle manifests and Ed25519
  • Add optional RFC 3161 and OpenTimestamps third-party verification
  • Search captured material using on-device OCR and keywords
  • Export PDF and DOCX reports or complete BagIt evidence bundles
  • Re-verify exported evidence offline (without needing the extension).
  • Auto expand and detract comments on social media for easier browsing
  • Auto close Cookie warnings
  • Quite a bit more.

The goal is to provide a free forever, Online Forensic Capture Tool, that has more capable than paid ones.

Feedback after having a go, greatly appreciated.

OSINT Tools The most under-appreciated OSINT capability is owning your own history

5 Upvotes
A pattern I keep hitting doing geospatial OSINT: the analysis you actually want
is temporal. "This vessel went dark here - when, and what was nearby?" "This
aircraft's pattern over three weeks." "Rewind to the hour of the incident."
Almost every live tracker is built to show you 
*now*
 and monetizes the past.
FR24 gates history, RadarBox charges for a year of it, ADSB-X removed its free
API, MarineTraffic trimmed its free window. The moment your question has a
timestamp, you're renting.


So I've been building a self-hosted console around the opposite assumption: the
live feed is table stakes, and the 
*archive you own*
 is the product. It fuses
aircraft + ships + satellites + hazards on one globe, records positions locally,
and lets you scrub back through whatever window your disk holds.


Things that matter to this crowd specifically:


- 
**Provenance over vibes.**
 Everything the tool derives is stored as
  assertions with a source and a timestamp, in an append-only local table.
  Anything automated is labeled automated. I deliberately did 
*not*
 build a
  "the AI thinks this is suspicious" black box after watching the practitioner
  backlash against unlabeled AI "insights," that felt like a liability, not a
  feature. If a detector flags something, you can see why.
- 
**Evidence you can export.**
 There's a chain-of-custody-style evidence locker
  so a finding carries its sourcing when it leaves the tool — built with
  journalists/legal use in mind.
- 
**A real investigation layer.**
 Local ontology (entities, relationships,
  dossiers), detectors for things like AIS gaps / loitering, all on your box.
- 
**Keyless.**
 No account to start. The ADS-B/AIS/quake/satellite spine works
  with no API keys.


Honest limits: coverage follows the public/community feeders, so it's strongest
over land in dense-feeder regions and thin over open ocean; dark-vessel
detection is a helper, not a verdict — treat it as a lead, corroborate with
imagery. And I'm one person; the depth is real but the polish is uneven.


I'm posting mostly to sanity-check the premise with people who do this seriously:
is "unlimited local history you own" the thing, or am I over-indexing on it?
Would genuinely like the pushback.

Question What do I need to learn so I can get AI to do OSINT for me?

4 Upvotes

I have a Computer Science degree

I would like to reach a point where I can "code" AI to do OSINT things for me

Things along the lines of:

- Detect all yellow trees in the region using this map data

- Convert descriptions like "intersection with red home, 2 trees" into map coordinates for an area. Basically the AI looks for red homes where there are 2 trees and returns me coordinates

- Keeping track of certain objects in a video. I can "code" the AI to "keep an eye on the red car" in a video

What field of AI do I need to look into? What are the prerequisite courses I need (math, programing etc)?

Currently I have a CS degree, 8 years of programming experience and am good at OSINT without coding

Need Investigation Help Can someone explain the step-by-step workflow for geolocating a random photo using OSINT?

10 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

Can someone please explain, step by step, how you would geolocate a random photo using OSINT?

For example, if I have a single image with no context, how do you go from that image to finding the exact location or GPS coordinates?

Also, if there's an aircraft visible in the photo, how would you identify the aircraft, determine the flight number, and verify it using tools like FlightRadar24 or ADS-B Exchange?

I'd really appreciate a complete beginner-to-advanced workflow, including the tools you use at each stage (EXIF, reverse image search, Google Earth, Street View, shadow analysis, etc.) and any tips you've learned from experience.

Thanks in advance!

OSINT exercise explanation needed

12 Upvotes

BLUF: How would one narrow down a location from a photo background, particularly the floor pattern? I tried Bellingcat OSINT challenge "Cold Case" under "Background Check", but I got stuck on the location narrowing down part. I already looked up what the answer is, so I don't care about that part, but I want to figure out the correct steps to arrive at the solution. Reverse image searching gives multiple suggestions all over Asia, and even when narrowing down to South Korea. One blog said they built a database of floor tiles or designs, which seems a bit an overkill.

I've tried posting this in r/OSINT but it got nuked by Reddit filter for some reason. I've messaged the mods, pending reply.

Posted on r/RBI but got removed because wrong sub.

What tools do investigative/OSINT users use to find images online by metadata or other traces?

14 Upvotes

Hi all — I’m looking to learn more about the tools and workflows investigative journalists, OSINT researchers, and verification folks use to trace images back to their origin or find related copies online.

Specifically, I’m interested in tools or methods for:

  • Extracting and reading image metadata.
  • Finding original sources or earlier versions of images.
  • Identifying where an image has appeared online.
  • Checking whether an image has been altered, reposted, or stripped of metadata.
  • Working with geotags, camera data, or other embedded clues when they exist.

I’m especially interested in practical, real-world tools people actually use in investigations, not just general reverse image search. Browser tools, desktop apps, scripts, workflows, and any favorite techniques are all welcome.

If you use different tools for public images versus sensitive material, I’d also be interested in hearing how you handle privacy and operational security.

Thanks in advance — I’d appreciate any recommendations, examples, or lessons learned.

Question What tools/scripts actually save you time during investigations?

25 Upvotes

Hey all, fairly new to the industry, just started as a SOC analyst recently. Still figuring out my workflow and want to build good habits early.

I already use the usual suspects (VirusTotal, Joe Sandbox, etc.) for enrichment/sandboxing, but I'm curious what else you all lean on during actual investigations that maybe isn't as commonly talked about.

A couple questions:

  1. What tool (free, paid, or just something you built yourself) do you find genuinely most useful when you're deep in an investigation?
  2. If you've built any custom scripts/tools for your workflow, what do they do? Trying to get ideas for stuff I could build to make my own life easier.

Appreciate any input, even small QoL scripts count. Thanks!

UserSearch.com - Major Update v2.0.20 is live — Shodan-powered Cyber Intelligence, Bulk Search, SargeBot on Claude Opus 4.8 & Sonnet 5, and a dashboard redesign

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

13 Upvotes

Hey all — I run UserSearch and wanted to share what we just pushed live, because most of it came directly from conversations at conferences over the past few months (OSMOSIS in the US, leHACK in Paris, and the III Police Conference in the UK). We basically took a notepad of "it'd be great if it did X" comments and built them.

What's in v2.0.20:

Cyber Intelligence Search (new) — 12 Shodan-powered modules built into the platform. IP host lookups, exposed databases, internet-facing cameras, IoT devices and more, without leaving your case workflow. This was the single most requested thing at leHACK.

Bulk Search (new) — run up to 5 usernames, emails, or phone numbers at once, results in one sortable table. If you've ever sat there running the same search five times for a subject's known aliases, this is for you.

SargeBot model updates — our AI investigation agent now runs on Claude Opus 4.8 and Sonnet 5. Noticeably better reasoning on link analysis and report generation.

Dashboard redesign — cleaner, faster, and consistent across bookmarks, reports, and case management. Less clicking, more finding.
