Osinton

Osinton is an open-source OSINT (Open Source Intelligence) tool designed to perform structured investigations on individuals using publicly available information.

The project allows users to search, correlate, and analyze digital footprints such as names, usernames, email addresses, and phone numbers by leveraging web search engines and optional local AI-assisted query generation.

Features

• Field-based OSINT search:
  • First name
  • Last name
  • Username
  • Email address
  • Phone number
• Web search powered by SerpAPI (Google engine)
• Iterative and structured query generation
• Optional local AI assistance via Ollama
• No cloud AI APIs required
• Professional Swing-based graphical interface
• No hardcoded API keys
• Cross-platform (Linux, Windows, macOS)

Requirements

• Java 21 or later
• Maven
• A SerpAPI account and API key
• (Optional) Ollama installed locally for AI-assisted query generation

Getting a SerpAPI Key

Osinton uses SerpAPI to perform Google-based web searches.

How to obtain a SerpAPI key

1. Visit:
   https://serpapi.com/

2. Create an account (a free tier is available)

3. After logging in, open your Dashboard

4. Copy your API Key

The API key must not be hardcoded in the source code.
Osinton allows you to insert the key directly in the graphical interface at runtime.

Installing Ollama (Optional – Local AI)

Osinton can optionally use Ollama to improve OSINT query generation using a local Large Language Model, without relying on paid cloud services.

Install Ollama on Linux
