Plugin Catalog

OSINT Forge v0.5.0 ships eight governed plugin definitions. The tools are installed separately and remain governed by their upstream projects, licenses, services, and terms.

Plugin	Category	Adapter targets	Batch	Important note
ExifTool	metadata	image, file	Yes	Extracts structured metadata
GHunt	email	email	Yes	Requires independent interactive login
Maigret	usernames	username	Yes	Produces username reports
Nmap	infrastructure	domain, IP	Yes	Restrained top-100-port service scan; authorization required
Recon-ng	infrastructure	domain	No	Interactive workspace and marketplace framework; launcher applies owner-only runtime permissions
Sherlock	usernames	username	Yes	Searches social networks for a username
SpiderFoot	frameworks	domain, IP, email, username	No	Interactive because scan and module choices require judgment; Debian 13/Python 3.13 compatibility is managed by the plugin
theHarvester 4.11.1	domains	domain	Yes	Restrained passive defaults; deterministically emits domain, email, and IP candidates from preserved JSON output

Governance

New candidates must pass maintenance, licensing, Debian/Ubuntu installation, lifecycle, adapter-safety, authorization, contract, dry-run, and disposable-environment review. Each candidate receives an explicit accept, defer, or reject decision. See issue #7 and Plugin Development.

Licensing

OSINT Forge does not bundle or relicense upstream tools. Consult each manifest and the canonical third-party notices.
