## What it is
Hound is a lightweight PHP-based information gathering tool that captures a target device's exact GPS coordinates along with system and ISP details via a phishing-style link served through a Cloudflare tunnel. It is intended for use in authorized penetration testing and security awareness demonstrations.

## Use cases
- capture exact gps coordinates of a target device
- gather device information like os browser and screen resolution
- get isp and public ip of a target
- osint reconnaissance during penetration testing
- demonstrate location tracking risks in security awareness training
- run a lightweight info gathering tool on kali linux or termux

## When to choose
- you need a simple script-based gps and device info gathering tool for authorized pentests
- you want a tool that works on kali linux, termux, or wsl with only php required
- you prefer cloudflared tunneling instead of ngrok for link delivery

## When to avoid
- you need a production-grade osint platform with reporting and multi-target management
- your use case involves tracking people without consent - this is illegal and unethical
- you need stealth or evasion capabilities against modern browsers and security tools

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
