history
Project history and usage
sn0int is a semi-automatic OSINT framework and package manager for security professionals and bug hunters.
Project history
The project began publicly in October 2018, with v0.1.0 released the same day the official GitHub repository was created. Its documentation says it was built to gather intelligence about a target or about yourself by processing public information into a unified investigation format.
Adoption history
The official documentation recommends operating-system packages when available and lists installation paths for Arch, macOS Homebrew, Debian/Ubuntu/Kali, Alpine, OpenBSD, Gentoo, NixOS, Docker, and Windows source builds. The supplied metadata also shows Homebrew, apk, pacman, and Nix packaging.
How it is used
sn0int users install modules, scope entities, run modules, inspect results, and can publish modules to the sn0int registry. Credentials are handled through sn0int's keyring abstraction rather than hardcoded in scripts.
Why package nerds care
sn0int is notable because it combines an OSINT workflow tool, a module sandbox, a registry, and package-manager distribution across several Unix-like ecosystems.
