Graph Visualization How-To

Under Graph directory there is the source code of the Twint OSINT Explorer, the compiled version will be provided.

Install

Dependencies

NodeJS
libsqlite3-dev libxss1 libx11-xcb-dev libxtst-dev libgconf-2-4 libnss3 libasound-dev

Debian/Ubuntu Based Systems

chmod +x install.sh
./install.sh

Docker

xhost local:root
docker run --name twint -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix -v $(PWD)/data:/data/data -e DISPLAY=unix$DISPLAY --rm c0dy/twint-explorer

Other

Steps:

Install node-sqlite3 - I recommend to re-build by doing the following:

npm install electron-rebuild
./node_modules/.bin/electron-rebuild -w sqlite3 -p

or you can run

npm install sqlite3

npm install - In this directory
To start Twint OSINT Explorer just run npm start .

Descrption

On the left side there are:

Home

Does nothing (now as now).

Dashboard

You will have to create a file dashboard.txt in that directory, that file will contain the url of the iframe object of the Kibana Dashboard... this does nothing more than using your browser to visualize the dashboard that you made in Kibana.

Graph

You will have to have the database to visualize users in a pretty nice graph.

How to:

Database file: the name file of the database (e.g.: twint.db);
Graph file: useless (now as now);
Select the table: Users, Followers or Following;
Condition the value that you want to graph, in case of the Users table this will graph that specific user (you can use * to graph every user that you scraped, this might slow down), the same for Followers and Following tables... given a specific condition it will load users with that name (in case of users table), users that have the "condition-user" as follower (in case of followers table) and the same for following table;
Load Settings: this will prepare the connection between users, does not plot;
Load Graph: plots;
You can use Raw Query to execute raw queries (e.g.: select column from table where.....).

Import Graph and Export Graph are useless, I'm working on a way to achieve this.

Attention here: using * in condition might require a lot of time, I did the best to speed up, good luck.

Run without compile

Just download the correct packaged version for your system, unzip, move to that directory with your terminal and run ./twint. Place in this same directory your .db file!

There are releases ready-to-use as well.

Dev

This feature and this Wiki is highly under development. The code and features might not be completed but everything works as expected and tested.
