The Problem

OSINT collection is the first step of every penetration test, bug bounty, and threat assessment. The data you need is scattered across a dozen platforms — each with its own API, its own auth, its own rate limits, its own output format. Today you open Shodan in one tab, VirusTotal in another, run dig in a terminal, copy-paste from WHOIS, switch to crt.sh for certificates, and then spend 30 minutes manually correlating everything.

Traditional OSINT workflow: resolve DNS records → dig / nslookup CLI check WHOIS registration → whois CLI or web tool enumerate subdomains → crt.sh + SecurityTrails + VirusTotal (3 different UIs) scan for open ports/services → Shodan web interface check domain reputation → VirusTotal web interface map IP infrastructure → Censys + BGP lookups find archived pages → Wayback Machine web UI check email security ...
