OSINT Tools Directory & Discovery Platform

Security researchers and investigators waste time finding scattered OSINT tools across the internet. A curated, searchable directory with categorized open-source intelligence tools, frameworks, and techniques solves this by centralizing discovery. Target users are cybersecurity professionals, journalists, and investigators.

OSINT as a discipline has exploded since 2022, driven by open-source conflict investigation (Ukraine, Gaza), corporate due diligence demand, and a wave of new practitioners entering through communities like Bellingcat and TraceLabs. Awesome-OSINT on GitHub is the closest substitute, but it's a static list with no search, no curation signal, and no update cadence — the gap for a maintained, structured directory is real. The $1k–5k/mo revenue band is plausible through a freemium model with a pro tier (saved searches, alerts on new tools, API access), but it assumes a meaningful conversion rate from a security-minded audience that historically resists paywalls. The biggest risk is that the core asset — the directory itself — gets forked or replicated by the community the moment it gains traction, since the underlying data is inherently open.
