Release of Snoop 1.3.1, an OSINT tool for collecting user information from open sources

The release of the Snoop 1.3.1 project has been published, which develops a forensic OSINT tool that looks for user accounts in public data (intelligence based on open sources). The program analyzes various sites, forums and social networks for the presence of the username you are looking for, i.e. allows you to determine on which sites there is a user with the specified nickname. The project was developed on the basis of research work in the field of public data scraping. Builds prepared for Linux and Windows.

The code is written in Python and distributed under a license that restricts use to personal use only. At the same time, the project is a branch of the Sherlock project code base, supplied under the MIT license (the fork was created due to the inability to expand the site database).

Snoop is included in the Russian Unified Register of Russian Programs for Electronic Computers and Databases with the declared code 26.30.11.16: β€œSoftware that ensures the implementation of established actions during operational-search activities:: No7012 order 07.10.2020 No515”. At the moment, Snoop tracks the presence of a user on 2226 Internet resources in the full version and the most popular resources in the Demo version.

Major changes:

  • The search base has been expanded to 2226 sites.
  • Added the "'session':: processed traffic data (ungzip)" parameter to html/csv reports and to the CLI in general and individually for each site (with the '-v' option visually in the CLI; new column 'Session/Kb' in csv report; 'session' in html report).
  • In the CLI arguments, the switch: 'β€”update y' has been updated to the abbreviation '-U y'.
  • When the standard parameters of Internet Censorship are exceeded, information about the omission has been added to the general CLI output: β€œerr DB in '%'”.
  • The Yandex_parser plugin has been updated to version 0.4 (bypassing the processing of non-existent username data in the Yandex database).
  • The license for the non-updateable EN version of Snoop has been extended for a year.
  • Documentation updated: 'Snoop Project General Guide'.
