## What it is
A curated catalog of 308 open-source OSINT tools organized by input data type such as email, phone, username, IP, and cryptocurrency. It serves as a directory linking to external repositories rather than providing tools itself.

## Use cases
- find osint tools for investigating an email address
- look up tools to check usernames across social platforms
- find tools for tracing cryptocurrency transactions
- discover osint resources for phone number lookups
- find tools for analyzing leaked data
- locate osint tools by input data type like IP or BSSID

## When to choose
- you need to discover which open-source OSINT tools exist for a specific input type
- you are building an OSINT workflow and want a categorized starting point
- you want a broad, regularly organized reference of investigation tools

## When to avoid
- you need a single runnable tool rather than a directory of links
- you need guaranteed-maintained tools, since many linked repos may be outdated
- you need commercial or paid OSINT services

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: osint, search-engine, developer-tools
- domain: osint, security, crawlers
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: awesome-list, tool-catalog, open-source-intelligence, investigation, username-checker, leaks, cryptocurrency-tracing
