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.

🧠 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

📌 What’s next?
I’m currently working on:
- Report generation (HTML / PDF)
- Better data correlation
- Graph visualization
- More platform integrations
