Pretty Good OSINT Protocol (PGOP)
Now, not only the bad guys have these tools.
TL;DR
PGOP (Pretty Good OSINT Protocol) is a modular, privacy-respecting open-source OSINT framework built for journalists, activists, researchers, and ethical hackers. It combines AI automation, blockchain transparency, and privacy-preserving tech to democratize access to open-source intelligence.
We want a world where tools like face recognition, wallet tracing, contract analysis, and API aggregation aren’t limited to governments and corporations.
💡 What We're Building
- PGOP: Core modular OSINT platform with CLI, API, and GUI
- Have I Been Rekt?: Friendly web frontend (Hugging Face + streamlit)
- Tool integrations: WHOIS, Telegram, Discord, blockchain scanners, geolocation, PimEyes, Hunter.io, etc.
- AI-powered workflows: Use OpenAI and other models to summarize OSINT scans and automate multi-tool workflows
- Privacy-first: Integrates Human.Tech (Holonym) to verify humans with zero-knowledge proofs
- Immutable audit trail: Write results optionally to Orbit Chain or Base for provable investigations
- VM-in-a-box: Deploy as Dockerized toolkit on a local or cloud machine in minutes
🚀 MVP Features
- CLI + GUI for scans
- Wallet & domain lookup
- WHOIS + reverse DNS
- Smart contract analysis
- Telegram/Discord scans
- Face + image matching (PimEyes style)
- AI summarization + tags
- Export to Maltego
- Publish reports to IPFS or blockchain
🔒 Privacy by Design
- No centralized data logging
- All API keys stored locally or via user-managed wallets
- Supports ZK-proof redaction of sensitive content using Holonym
🔧 Tech Stack
- Python / Streamlit / Docker
- Hugging Face Spaces
- GitHub Actions for CI/CD
- OpenAI, Stability, and AI APIs
- Orbit Chain, Base, IPFS
- Optional wallet connect
🌱 Who It's For
- Investigative journalists
- Security researchers
- Human rights groups
- DAO governance voters
- Community trust systems
- Open-source threat analysts
🧩 What's Next?
- ✅ Hugging Face demo live
- 🔜 Extend AI workflows (custom GPT agents)
- 🔜 Integration with Holonym ZK ID
- 🔜 OSINT-to-IPFS/Orbit reporting
- 🔜 GitHub deploy & VM script
- 🔜 Figma-style onboarding + docs
🙏 Why We Need Funding
- Improve reliability and modularity
- Cover API usage for demos (OpenAI, PimEyes, Hunter.io, etc.)
- Support contributors & contractors
- Offer a hosted gateway for non-technical users
- Enable anonymous public-interest reporting
🌍 Let’s level the field
Tools this powerful shouldn’t be exclusive to nation-states, mercenary firms, or billion-dollar platforms.
We’re building Pretty Good OSINT Protocol so everyone has access to information that matters.
