For something that claims comprehensiveness, I am somewhat surprised by the list of sources. It’s almost entirely restricted to the web domain, i. e. domain/ip/email data.

That’s understandable, considering how any data you gleam can immediately be fed into another run of all these tools. But I was under the impression that "OSINT" has a few more data sources connecting it to the "real world“? Company data, published books, or the court system come to mind.

(Sorry if I just missed some)



Company data is a little there, using OpenCorporates’ API. The tool originated with a smaller scope initially and has grown over 8 years of development. I can imagine how different it will look in another few years.
