A PROPRIETARY OSINT PLATFORM BUILT FOR REAL INVESTIGATIONS
Primary investigative systems for public records research and identity intelligence. Structured for repeatable, evidence-based workflows.
Operational tools structured for active investigative research. Focused on research efficiency and information retrieval.
Launch a single query across 80+ OSINT platforms simultaneously. Username, email, domain, IP, phone number · dispatched in one action with configurable rate control.
Open Tool →Construct advanced search operator queries visually. site:, filetype:, intitle:, inurl:, date ranges, and Boolean logic · assembled and ready to deploy.
Open Tool →Infrastructure for the back half of an investigation · structuring findings, organizing notes, and extending browser capabilities.
Structure raw findings into a defensible intelligence report. Exports to PDF, DOCX, and Markdown. Built for investigators who need to hand something to a client or attorney.
Open Tool →60+ one-click browser tools. Metadata extraction, DNS pivots, reverse image search, social recon, and source analysis · no installation, no extension permissions required.
Open Library →Paste raw investigation notes and have them auto-structured into entities, timelines, and sources. Conflict detection and export included.
Open Tool →Resources from analysts, researchers, and investigators who are actually in the field · curated by Nicole Hurey.
The longest-running OSINT weekly in the field. Every Monday, Sector035 distils the most useful tools, techniques, and practitioner content from across the community into a single read · no filler, no trend-chasing. If it's in Week in OSINT, it's worth knowing about.
Delivers a deep dive into the mechanics of digital deception. They cut through the noise of ad fraud and coordinated disinformation to show exactly how the internet is being manipulated · giving readers the specific OSINT techniques and mental models needed to spot lies and track them back to the source themselves.
A curated, automated, and structured dataset actively tracking used, practical, and maintained OSINT tools · rather than static "top tools" lists. If a tool is dead, it's removed. If it's worth using, it's tracked.
Serves as a training ground and resource, remixing dark humour, investigative technique, and raw storytelling · bringing new and creative ways to call bullsh*t on the world around you.
Offers insights into real-world privacy, security, OSINT challenges, and in-depth methodologies focused on protecting personal digital footprints. Michael Bazzell has been training investigators longer than most tools have existed.
A practical field guide with weekly hands-on tutorials, tool reviews, and skill-building challenges to bridge theory and real-world application. Substack newsletter @OSINTNEWSLETTER.
Community-driven intelligence blog covering OSINT tradecraft, real investigation methodologies, and practitioner-authored deep dives. Written by people doing the work · not just talking about it.
Practitioner-authored intelligence content, field methodology, and investigative tradecraft from The OSINT Vault ecosystem.
Operational resources may be submitted for manual review and possible inclusion within The OSINT Vault intelligence ecosystem.
The OSINT Vault does not function as an open directory. Platforms considered for inclusion undergo manual operational review based on investigative value, infrastructure quality, reliability, accessibility, and long-term viability.
Acceptance is selective and not guaranteed. Priority is given to operationally valuable investigative infrastructure. Submissions involving scamware, malware, unstable infrastructure, deceptive aggregators, or spam tools are rejected without response.
Licensed investigator. Founder of The OSINT Vault and ParadoxIndex. Building structured intelligence tools for the field · not for the classroom. Connect on LinkedIn for practitioner-level insights and investigative methodology.
I build OSINT tools that work the way investigations actually run · browser-based, structured, and fast. No registration. No fluff. Every tool on this site is something I use or have needed in real investigative work. If something is wrong I want to know. If something's missing, I'll build it.
