Python-OSINT-Tool

A Python-based OSINT tool to fetch WHOIS, DNS, subdomains, and scrape emails from a target domain.

Automated OSINT Framework

An automated, command-line OSINT (Open Source Intelligence) tool built in Python. It takes a target domain and performs a comprehensive reconnaissance sweep, gathering public information and saving it to a report.

This tool is designed for educational purposes and ethical penetration testing to automate the initial information-gathering phase.

Key Features

• WHOIS & IP Geolocation: Automatically fetches domain registration data (registrar, creation/expiry dates) and pinpoints the server's physical location and ISP.
• DNS Record Enumeration: Queries the target's DNS records to find MX (Mail Server) and TXT (Security/SPF) records.
• Attack Surface Discovery: Uses a custom wordlist (wordlist.txt) to brute-force and discover hidden subdomains (api.target.com) and **directories (target.com/admin).
• Email & Socials Scraping:** Crawls the target website (up to 10 pages deep) to find and extract any publicly listed email addresses and **social media links.
• Automated Reporting: Compiles all findings into a clean, timestamped .txt report for analysis (e.g., report_example_com_20251027.txt).

Tech Stack

• Python 3
• requests: For making HTTP requests and crawling.
• BeautifulSoup: For parsing HTML and scraping data.
• python-whois: For performing WHOIS lookups.
• ipapi: For IP geolocation.
• dnspython: For querying DNS records.

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/karthitom/Python-OSINT-Tool.git
   cd Python-OSINT-Tool.git

2. (Recommended) Create and activate a virtual environment:

   python3 -m venv venv
   source venv/bin/activate

3. Install the required libraries:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

How to Use

1. Ensure you have a wordlist.txt file in the same directory.
2. Run the script from your terminal:

   python3 osint.py

3. The script will then prompt you to enter the target URL (e.g., example.com).

Once the scan is complete, a detailed report will be saved in the same directory.
