What is OSINT Hub?

OSINT Hub is a Django-based web application that centralizes multiple Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) tools into a single, unified platform. Built with Python 3.12 and Django 5.2, it eliminates the need to switch between different tools during an investigation by providing a modern, responsive web interface for all your OSINT needs.
OSINT Hub is designed for security researchers, investigators, and professionals who need to gather information from public sources efficiently and legally.

​
Why Use OSINT Hub?

Centralized Platform

Access 6 powerful OSINT tools through a single web interface - no need to manage multiple CLI tools or browser tabs

Modern Web UI

Built with Bootstrap 5, featuring responsive design and support for light/dark modes

Security First

Includes CSRF protection, CSP headers, HSTS, XSS protection, and input sanitization

Easy Deployment

Deploy anywhere - local development, production with Gunicorn, or cloud platforms like PythonAnywhere

​
Core Capabilities

OSINT Hub provides six integrated tools for different investigation scenarios:

​
Email Intelligence

Verify email presence across 300+ platforms using Holehe 1.61. Quickly determine where an email address is registered without manual checking.

​
Image Metadata Analysis

Extract EXIF, XMP, and IPTC metadata from images, videos, and PDFs using ExifTool. Automatically extracts GPS coordinates and generates OpenStreetMap links for location analysis.

​
Cryptographic Hashing

Generate and verify cryptographic hashes (MD5, SHA1, SHA256, SHA512, SHA224, SHA384) for files and text to ensure data integrity.

​
IP Geolocation

Lookup geolocation, ASN information, network blocks, and organization details for any IPv4 or IPv6 address.

​
Username Discovery

Search for usernames across 300+ social networks and websites using Sherlock 0.16. Export results to CSV for further analysis.

​
Phone Number Intelligence

Analyze international phone numbers using phonenumbers 9.0 library with asynchronous processing for fast results.

​
Technology Stack

# Core Framework
Django 5.2
Python 3.12

# Async Processing
Celery 5.6
Redis (message broker)

# Production Server
Gunicorn 23.0
WhiteNoise 6.8.2 (static files)

​
Key Features

  • Modular Architecture: Each tool is a separate Django app, making it easy to add new tools or disable unused ones
  • Session Management: Results are stored in Django sessions for easy review and re-export
  • Input Validation: All user inputs are validated and sanitized to prevent injection attacks
  • Timeout Protection: All external processes have timeouts (Holehe: 60s, Sherlock: 300s, IP: 15s)
  • File Size Limits: Upload limits prevent resource exhaustion (ExifTool: 50MB max)
  • SEO Ready: Includes robots.txt, sitemap.xml, and security.txt for production deployments

​
Security Features

OSINT Hub implements multiple security layers:
1

CSRF Protection

Django CSRF protection enabled on all forms to prevent cross-site request forgery
2

Content Security Policy

Strict CSP headers configured via django-csp to prevent XSS attacks
3

HTTP Security Headers

HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and XSS protection headers enabled in production
4

Input Sanitization

Path traversal prevention, email validation, IP validation, and filename sanitization
5

Environment Variables

Secrets managed via python-decouple for secure credential storage

​
Use Cases

Track online presence, verify account ownership, and investigate digital footprints across multiple platforms
Analyze metadata from suspicious files, verify file integrity with hashes, and investigate IP addresses
Educational platform for learning OSINT techniques with real tools in a controlled environment
Verify email addresses before outreach campaigns, validate phone numbers, and confirm user identities
