OSRFramework

OSRFramework: Open Sources Research Framework

[ Version in PyPI ]() []()

1 - Description

OSRFramework is a GNU AGPLv3+ set of libraries developed by i3visio to perform Open Source Intelligence collection tasks. They include references to a bunch of different applications related to username checking, DNS lookups, information leaks research, deep web search, regular expressions extraction and many others. At the same time, by means of ad-hoc Maltego transforms, OSRFramework provides a way of making these queries graphically as well as several interfaces to interact with like OSRFConsole or a Web interface.

3 - Installation

Fast way to do it on any system for a user with administration privileges:

sudo pip3 install osrframework

You can upgrade to the latest release of the framework with:

sudo pip3 install osrframework --upgrade

This will manage all the dependencies for you and install the latest version of the framework.

If you needed further information on how to install OSRFramework on certain systems, note that you may need to add export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.local/bin to your ~/.bashrc_profile). This has been confirmed in some distributions, including MacOS. In any case, we recommend you yo have a look at the INSTALL.md file where we provide additional details for these cases.

4 - Basic usage

If everything went correctly (we hope so!), it's time for trying usufy., mailfy and so on. But where are they locally? They are installed in your path meaning that you can open a terminal anywhere and typing the name of the program (seems to be an improvement from previous installations...). Examples:

osrf --help
usufy -n i3visio febrezo yrubiosec -p twitter facebook
searchfy -q "i3visio"
mailfy -n i3visio

Type -h or --help to get more information about which are the parameters of each application.

The tools installed in this package include:

alias_generator. Generates candidate nicknames based on known info about the target. Input: information about the target. Output: list of possible nicknames.
checkfy. Guesses possible emails based on a list of candidate nicknames and a pattern. Input: list of nicknames and an email pattern. Output. list of emails matching the pattern..
domainfy. Finds domains that currently resolve using a given word or nickname. Input: liat of words. Output: domains using that word that currently resolve.
mailfy. Find more information about emails taken as a reference either a nickname (to generate a list of possible emails) or the email list. Input: list of nicknames or emails. Output: found information about the email.

You can find the configuration files in a folder created in your user home to define the default behaviour of the applications:

# Configuration files for Linux and MacOS
~/.config/OSRFramework/
# Configuration files for Windows
C:\Users\<User>\OSRFramework\

OSRFramework will look for the configuration settings for each application stored there. You can add new credentials there and if something goes wrong, you can always restore the files stored in the defaults subfolder.

If you are experiencing problems, you might fight relevant information in the (FAQ Section)[doc/FAQ.md].
