How it is built, by role
The same roles apply across the whole collection. Nothing in this block is specific to this site; what the site says about itself is quoted word for word below it.
- 1
Edge network
Visitors reach a site through an edge layer: a content delivery network with a web application firewall in front of it.
- 2
Application host
The edge talks to an application host that serves the site and renders its pages.
- 3
Data
What the pages show comes from a relational database or, for a site pre-rendered at build time, from data files built into its release.
- 4
Scheduled measurement
The collection measures its sites on a schedule: content dates and site health nightly, page counts read from each site’s sitemap weekly. Every reading is kept with its date. A site too large to re-walk is not re-measured, and shows no trend.
- 5
Public status feed
A monitoring panel sends a signed report on uptime, deploys and backups once a day, and the Operations page publishes it. A figure on this page that comes from that report says so.
In the site's own words
Each passage is copied unaltered from a page the site publishes, with the address it was taken from and the date we took it. We add nothing between them.
“OSINT Yourself is an education and tools-directory site for open-source intelligence (OSINT) — the practice of gathering information from publicly available sources.”
“The site has three parts: Teach explains how OSINT techniques actually work, Warn helps people understand what their own digital footprint looks like from the outside, and the tools directory catalogues the software and services that do this work.”
“The tools directory is organised into 12 categories, and each tool's page shows when its entry was last checked, where that date is recorded.”
“Longer descriptions appear only where they were checked against the vendor's own pages or an archived copy of them.”
“Some descriptions on this site were first drafted with an AI model. Machine-drafted text is held back from tool pages until it has been reviewed, and the methodology page explains how each description is labelled.”
“A dual-use tool is capable of both legitimate research (journalism, security work, due diligence) and of harassment or stalking. Dual-use tools are marked as such on every page they appear; listing one is not an endorsement of either use.”
“Reading the site requires no account, runs no advertising trackers, and sells no visitor data; the password checker runs entirely in your browser.”
“Anyone curious about their own digital footprint, plus journalists, security researchers and due-diligence professionals who want a catalogued reference of OSINT tools rather than a scattered set of bookmarks.”
