A mobile OSINT tool for generating profiles.
Table of Contents
WatchR is a mobile OSINT tool that can be used to track phone numbers, IP addresses and generate profiles using email-ids. An OSINT (Open Source INTelligence) tool refers to a computer application that helps us retrieve more information about a person that has been made public by the user by tracing the footsteps of some information provided to us about the same user.
WatchR makes use of 3 APIs to perform its tasks:
- Censys API: to trace the IP address and locate it on Google Maps.
- NumVerify API: to track the details linked to a phone number, including service provider, location of circle, and the line type.
- Hunter API: to generate profiles using email id of a person. This email id should belong to a particular domain for the API to work.
Since, most of the OSINT tools available on GitHub require a CLI setup which may even involve downloading and installing numerous packages, we decided to create an easy-to-use mobile application to serve the same purpose. The lack of free and open source mobile OSINT tools in the market is what makes WatchR unique.
