GhostIntel v2.5 — What Changed Since I First Posted About It

Ruyynn — Mon, 30 Mar 2026 09:10:46 +0000

Found on 67 out of 129 platforms including Instagram, LinkedIn,
TikTok, GitHub, Discord, and more."/>

A few weeks ago I posted about GhostIntel — an OSINT tool I built to automate recon across 100+ platforms.

A lot has changed since then. Here's what's new in v2.5.

🌐 Web UI

The biggest addition. Run python ghostintel.py -web and open http://localhost:7331.

You get a full dashboard — dark/light theme, scan history, live entity detection as you type, and export to JSON/Markdown directly from the browser. No more staring at a terminal if you don't want to.

🔥 Email Breach Detection

GhostIntel now checks email domains against a built-in breach database and returns a risk score from 0–100. It tells you what was leaked, when, and what to do about it.

Includes Indonesian breaches too — Tokopedia, Bhinneka, JD.ID.

📱 Phone OSINT — Now 8 Countries

Was 5, now 8. Added Australia, Singapore, and Philippines on top of ID, US, UK, MY, IDN.

👤 Username Check — 129+ Platforms

Up from 100+. Added gaming, music, video, and more Indonesian-specific platforms.

📦 Batch Processing

Create a .txt with mixed targets — usernames, emails, phone numbers, domains, IPs — and run them all at once.

python ghostintel.py --batch targets.txt --format all

⚡ Performance

Async parallel scanning now makes it roughly 10x faster than before. Also added rotating User-Agent (14+ UAs) to reduce rate-limiting.

📊 Reports — 4 Formats

JSON, HTML, TXT, and Markdown. Generate all at once with --format all.

Still zero API keys

Everything still runs on public data only. No signups, no paid APIs, no hidden costs.

If you tried v2.0 before, this version is a significant step up. Feedback and PRs are always welcome 🙌

I Built an OSINT Tool to Automate Recon Across 100+ Platforms

Ruyynn — Fri, 27 Mar 2026 16:11:04 +0000

Manual reconnaissance is slow, repetitive, and honestly… pretty inefficient.

So I built GhostIntel — a lightweight OSINT tool that automates recon across multiple platforms in one place.

🔗 https://github.com/ruyynn/GhostIntel

🧠 What is GhostIntel?

GhostIntel is an open-source tool designed to simplify how you gather publicly available information.

Instead of jumping between different tools or manually searching, GhostIntel helps automate the process and return structured results.

⚙️ Features

🔍 Username enumeration across 100+ platforms
📧 Email footprint analysis
🌐 Domain reconnaissance
📱 Basic phone lookup
🧩 Modular and easy to extend

💡 Why I built this

While learning about OSINT and reconnaissance, I noticed that most tools are either too complex or too fragmented.

I wanted something that is:

Simple
Fast
Actually useful

So I built GhostIntel as a personal project to learn while solving a real problem.

🛠️ Tech Stack

Python
CLI-based interface
JSON-based configs

🚀 Getting Started

git clone https://github.com/ruyynn/GhostIntel
cd GhostIntel
pip install -r requirements.txt
python ghostintel.py -h

📌 What’s next?

I’m currently working on:

Report generation (HTML / PDF)
Better data correlation
Graph visualization
More platform integrations

🤝 Feedback

This project is still evolving, and I’d really appreciate feedback from the community 🙌

VulnDraft: Open-Source Bug Report Generator for Bug Bounty & Pentesting

Ruyynn — Wed, 25 Mar 2026 09:26:24 +0000

TL;DR: Stop wasting 30-45 minutes formatting bug reports. VulnDraft helps bug bounty hunters and pentesters generate professional security reports in minutes.

Why VulnDraft?

You find a bug. You have the PoC. But then comes the report:

Which platform? HackerOne, Bugcrowd, Intigriti?
What sections do they require?
Where's that CVSS calculator?
Did I include all the steps?

The result: Time lost formatting, when you could have found more bugs.

What VulnDraft Does

✅ HackerOne / Bugcrowd / Intigriti templates — no more format guessing
✅ Built-in CVSS v3.1 calculator
✅ CLI + Web interface — use it your way
✅ Export to Markdown, HTML, JSON
✅ Multi-vulnerability support — one report, multiple findings

Spend less time formatting, more time finding real security issues.

Tech Stack

Python 3.8+
FastAPI (web interface)
Pydantic (validation)
Questionary (CLI prompts)
TailwindCSS (styling)

Try It Yourself

git clone https://github.com/ruyynn/VulnDraft.git
cd VulnDraft
pip install -r requirements.txt
python main.py

Start the web interface:

python main.py --web

Open http://localhost:8000

Feedback & Contributions

Try it. Break it. Tell me what sucks — open to suggestions, improvements, and contributions!

Building Open Source Cybersecurity Tools with Python

Ruyynn — Fri, 13 Mar 2026 16:48:03 +0000

Introduction

Cybersecurity and open source have always gone hand in hand.
Recently, I've been working on several small tools focused on reconnaissance, OSINT, and security research.

Most of these tools are written in Python and designed to be simple, practical, and useful for researchers, developers, and bug bounty hunters.

Why I Built These Tools

While learning more about reconnaissance workflows, I noticed that many tools are either:

too complex for beginners

not flexible enough

or difficult to integrate into simple workflows

So I started building my own tools to experiment with automation and information gathering.

Some of My Projects

hxr

A security reconnaissance framework focused on gathering useful data during early stages of security research.

RYN27

A CLI tool for information gathering including:

WHOIS lookup

DNS records

IP geolocation

port scanning

technology detection

IP-Hunter

A defensive security tool designed to help website owners identify potential risks and misconfigurations.

Open Source and Learning

All of these projects are open source and part of my learning process in cybersecurity and Python development.

I believe sharing tools openly helps others learn and improve their workflows.

Feedback

If you work in cybersecurity, OSINT, or bug bounty, I’d love to hear your feedback.

What tools do you rely on the most?

What features are often missing from reconnaissance tools?

Suggestions are always welcome.
