⚡ What's New in v1.3.0

Rich CLI output panels

phantomsignal scan <target> now renders module-specific intelligence panels instead of a raw table — DNS records, subdomains, SPF/DMARC/DNSSEC status, an aligned port table with version/banner/risk, tech stack with security header grade A–F, exposed API resources, GeoIP/ASN intel, and a red anomaly callout. All panel right-borders are pinned to terminal width.

nmap integration

The port scanner now chains nmap (-sV --version-intensity 7 -O --osscan-guess) for full service-version detection and OS fingerprinting, with a transparent pure-Python async TCP fallback when nmap is absent or running without raw-socket privileges (macOS / Windows). The scan engine used and OS guess are shown inline in the port panel footer.

Expanded port coverage

COMMON_PORTS expanded from 56 → 99 ports covering low privileged services and high-numbered application ports — WinRM (5985/5986), Webmin (10000), InfluxDB (8086), Radmin (4899), and more. DANGEROUS_PORTS extended accordingly.

Web UI parity with CLI

The scan results page now renders each result type as structured output — port cards, DNS record tables, SPF/DMARC status, security header grade, TLS issuer/expiry, API endpoint status codes, IP geolocation with TOR/VPN flags — matching the CLI display. Quick Probe now runs all 5 default modules (dns_recon, port_scan, tech_detect, api_hunt, intel).

Web UI — Theme Options

PhantomSignal ships with two built-in UI themes, selectable via the ☀/🌙 toggle in the top navigation bar. Your preference is saved automatically and persists across sessions.

Theme Description
Dark (default) Cyberpunk aesthetic — deep charcoal background, neon green/cyan/purple accents, matrix rain canvas, glowing owl logo
Light "Phantom Dawn" — soft blue-grey background, muted accent palette, clean black ASCII logo, matrix rain disabled

⚡ What is PhantomSignal?

PhantomSignal is a community-powered, open-source OSINT intelligence framework built for security researchers, penetration testers, investigators, and enthusiasts. It combines web scraping, network reconnaissance, people intelligence aggregation, and threat analysis into a single cohesive platform.

LEGAL DISCLAIMER: PhantomSignal is for authorized security research, OSINT investigations, and educational purposes only. Only scan targets you have explicit permission to test. You are solely responsible for compliance with all applicable laws. The developers assume NO liability for misuse.


🔥 Features

🕷 Web Reconnaissance

  • Scrapy-powered deep web crawler with JavaScript rendering support
  • Technology detection — fingerprints 50+ technologies (CMS, frameworks, CDNs, WAFs)
  • API endpoint hunter — discovers REST APIs, GraphQL, Swagger docs, admin panels, .env leaks
  • Security header analysis with graded posture scoring
  • Email, phone, link, and comment harvesting

🌐 Network Intelligence

  • nmap-powered port scanner — full service-version detection and OS fingerprinting via nmap (-sV -O); pure-Python async TCP fallback when nmap unavailable — no config required
  • Expanded port coverage — 99 common ports by default, 1,000+ port profile, or full 65,535; covers WinRM, Webmin, InfluxDB, Docker API, Kubernetes, and more
  • DNS recon — A/AAAA/MX/NS/TXT/SOA/CAA, zone transfer attempts, subdomain brute-force
  • Certificate transparency via crt.sh — uncover subdomains via SSL history
  • SPF/DMARC analysis — identify email spoofing vulnerabilities
  • Reverse DNS and co-hosted domain discovery

Config File

Copy config/phantomsignal.yaml to ~/.phantomsignal/config.yaml and customize.


🔌 Adding Custom APIs

PhantomSignal uses a plugin architecture. Adding a new intelligence source takes ~20 lines:

# phantomsignal/intel/apis/my_api.py
from phantomsignal.intel.apis.base import BaseIntelAPI, register_api, APICategory, APITier

@register_api
class MyAPI(BaseIntelAPI):
    NAME = "myapi"
    DESCRIPTION = "My custom intelligence source"
    REQUIRES_KEY = True
    TIER = APITier.FREE_LIMITED
    CATEGORIES = [APICategory.NETWORK]
    BASE_URL = "https://api.myservice.com/v1"
    SIGN_UP_URL = "https://myservice.com/signup"

    async def search(self, query: str, **kwargs):
        data = await self._get(
            f"{self.BASE_URL}/search",
            params={"q": query, "key": self._api_key}
        )
        return [self._wrap_result("my_result", data)]

Then import it in phantomsignal/intel/orchestrator.py and it auto-registers.
