OSINT Framework Research for Basalt

Research date: 2026-04-04.

Sources:

Goal

This file captures OSINT Framework tools that look relevant to Basalt as a consent-first, graph-based Go OSINT CLI. It is not a mirror of the whole framework. The cut line is: tools that can plausibly map to Basalt modules, enrich Basalt nodes, or inform adjacent future expansion.

Selection Rules

  • Included: username, email, domain, cloud, IP, social/community, archive, and people-search categories that can enrich identity, account, domain, or infrastructure graphs.
  • Excluded: training material, malware triage, blockchain, generic OPSEC resources, active exploit tooling, and other framework areas outside Basalt's current product direction.
  • Current Basalt overlap is noted separately so the backlog focuses on gaps, not modules that already exist.
  • Fit means: Direct = good candidate for a first-class Basalt module now, Context = useful enrichment around existing seeds, Reference = better used as a data source, wrapper, or design reference than as a native module, Future = valuable but needs new seed types or a wider evidence model.

Existing Overlap

Basalt already overlaps with these framework areas or tools at a meaningful level: Keybase, GitHub, GitLab, Codeberg, Docker Hub, DEV.to, Hacker News, Reddit, Discord, Instagram, TikTok, Telegram, Steam, WHOIS/RDAP, DNS/CT, Shodan, Wayback Machine, IPinfo.

Highest-Value Candidates

  • WhatsMyName Web: Fast username coverage with a passive web front end.
  • Namechk: Good cheap signal for username and domain availability pivots.
  • Hunter: High-value email discovery with API support and company/domain pivots.
  • Epieos Email Tool: Useful reverse-email enrichment and social-profile correlation.
  • Have I been pwned?: Strong breach signal that fits Basalt's email workflows.
  • Hudson Rock: Adds infostealer exposure context for email, username, domain, and IP.
  • GHunt (T): Reference implementation for deeper Google-account style enrichment.
  • Holehe (T): Reference implementation for service enumeration from an email.
  • ViewDNS.info: Straightforward domain/IP enrichment that maps cleanly to graph nodes.
  • Netlas.io: Multi-surface domain, DNS, and exposure data with API support.
  • urlscan.io: Strong page, redirect, and infrastructure context once a domain is known.
  • BuiltWith: Useful website stack and related-property enrichment from domains.
  • Wappalyzer: Technology fingerprinting for websites and hosted properties.
  • Censys: Certificate, host, and exposure pivots around domains and IPs.
  • crt.sh - Certificate Search: Easy certificate-transparency pivot source for domain expansion.
  • DNS Dumpster: Fast passive DNS and subdomain context for domain scans.
  • SpyOnWeb: Good relationship pivots via analytics and ad IDs.
  • Fediverse Observer: Missing social surface with structured instance/account context.
  • Threads Dashboard: A clean path into Threads/Meta public-content discovery.
  • TGStat: Telegram discovery surface with API support.
  • PeekYou: Candidate anchor for future person_name and broader people-search support.
  • Common Crawl: Good archive source for historical domain/web evidence extraction.

Inventory Summary

  • Account and username discovery: 17 tools
  • Email discovery and enrichment: 29 tools
  • Domain and website footprinting: 95 tools
  • Cloud and infrastructure context: 58 tools
  • Missing social/community platforms: 47 tools
  • Future seed types: 21 tools
  • Community and archive search: 31 tools
  • Total candidates in this file: 298 tools

Notes for Implementation

  • Start with Direct tools in the username, email, and domain groups. They map cleanly onto Basalt's existing username, email, domain, website, and account node shapes.
  • Treat most Reference tools as design input or optional wrappers. Many are multi-source orchestrators, local CLIs, or manual-url/dork helpers rather than stable single-service modules.
  • Treat Context tools as secondary enrichment. They are useful once Basalt already has a confirmed domain or IP pivot, but they are less central than identity/account discovery.
  • Treat Future tools as a backlog for expanding node types such as phone, address, person_name, asn, ip, social_post, or message_channel.
  • Several Reference rows are active recon utilities. They are useful as ideas or optional wrappers, but they should not become Basalt defaults if the product stays primarily passive and consent-first.
