What is it?

OSINT Framework is a curated collection of open-source intelligence resources, presented as an interactive tree on osintframework.com. Each branch groups sites and tools by the kind of information they can surface, such as usernames, domains, IP addresses, images, social media, and public records.

The project focuses on free resources. Some listed sites require registration or charge for fuller data, but most entries offer at least part of their information at no cost. Entries are marked to indicate local-install tools, Google dorks, registration requirements, and sites where the search term must be edited into the URL manually.

The data lives in a JSON file organized by category, and contributors add entries through pull requests. Entries can carry structured metadata such as status, pricing, input and output types, and operational security notes.
