🌐 Mapping the Fediverse, one handle at a time.
Fediverse OSINT is a lightweight tool to collect publicly accessible metadata from Fediverse platforms like Mastodon, Misskey, and more. Whether you’re tracking mentions, discovering linked accounts, or mapping user behavior — this tool helps you gather intelligence with minimal footprint.
With Fediverse OSINT, you can:
✅ Perform OSINT on any known handle across Mastodon, Pleroma, Misskey, etc.
✅ Extract profile metadata (bio, links, tags, followers/following)
✅ Analyze public post content for keywords, hashtags, domains, or mentions
✅ Identify cross-platform behavior through linked URLs and common identifiers
✅ Leverage federation protocols to track visibility and reach
✅ Get results in a format that’s human-readable or export-friendly
Why it works well for open source intelligence:
🔍 Focused on public-facing data only — no scraping or unauthorized access
📡 Lightweight Python script with clear CLI usage
📦 No dependencies on API tokens (where possible)
💡 Great for journalists, researchers, threat intel analysts, and curiosity-driven hackers
