# OSINT-Hub

This README is also available in [🇫🇷 French](./README_fr.md)

**OSINT-Hub** is a comprehensive web platform aggregating OSINT (Open Source Intelligence) and offensive security resources with advanced filtering capabilities. The platform is designed as an evolving ecosystem with multiple specialized hubs in active development.

---

## Overview

OSINT-Hub provides a centralized interface for security professionals, researchers, and enthusiasts to discover and access tools across multiple domains. The platform organizes resources by categories including reconnaissance, social engineering, web application testing, forensics, and more, with a focus on Western European resources while maintaining global coverage.

## Vision

OSINT-Hub is designed as an **evolving ecosystem** of security intelligence tools. While currently featuring two main hubs (OSINT and Offensive Security), the platform architecture supports unlimited expansion. Future additions will cover:

- Threat intelligence and monitoring
- Automated reporting and documentation
- Collaborative investigation workspaces  
- Specialized regional and industry-specific toolsets
- API integrations for direct tool access

Check the navigation sidebar to see which sections are live, under development, or coming soon. The platform is in active development with regular updates and new capabilities.

## Installation & Usage

### Prerequisites
- Python 3.7 or higher
- pip (Python package manager)
- wget (for AI model download)
- Minimum 4GB RAM recommended for AI chatbot functionality

### Quick Start

1. **Clone or download the repository**:
   ```bash
   git clone https://github.com/ThePinguin073/osint-hub.git
   cd osint-hub
   ```

2. **Run the automated installer**:
   ```bash
   python installer.py
   ```
   
   The installer will automatically:
   - Create a virtual environment
   - Install all required dependencies (Flask, flask-cors, llama-cpp-python, etc.)
   - Download the AI model (~2.4GB) for the OSINT chatbot
   - Set up the complete environment

3. **Activate the virtual environment**:
   ```bash
   # Linux/macOS
   source ./venv/bin/activate
   
   # Windows
   venv\Scripts\activate.bat
   ```

4. **Run the application**:
   ```bash
   python app.py
   ```
   
   The server will automatically find an available port between 8000-9000 and display:
   ```
   * Running on http://127.0.0.1:XXXX
   ```

5. **Access the platform**:
   - Open your browser
   - Navigate to the URL displayed in the terminal
   - Accept the legal warning to proceed
   - Explore OSINT tools, Offensive Security resources, and try the AI chatbot (BETA)

### Notes
- **AI Chatbot Performance**: The chatbot performance depends on your system specifications. For optimal experience, a modern multi-core processor and at least 8GB RAM is recommended.
- **First Launch**: The first time you use the chatbot, it may take a moment to load the AI model into memory.
- **Internet Connection**: Required for initial installation and tool database updates.
