PhishIntel: Open-Source Python and Go Tool Automates Web Reconnaissance for OSINT Analysts

PhishIntel is a lightweight reconnaissance utility written primarily in Python with performance-critical components in Go. The tool launches via a single command and presents an interactive menu that lets analysts select language and modules. Its core crawler recursively visits a configurable number of pages at a chosen depth and concurrency level, harvesting Russian and US-format phone numbers, emails, cryptocurrency wallets, and physical addresses. Additional modules collect domain metadata including DNS records, RDAP, WHOIS, TLS certificates, redirect chains, and external JavaScript and API endpoints. A limited TCP port scan performed by the Go binary identifies listening services and basic technology fingerprints without replacing full port scanners such as Nmap. Results are exported in both structured JSON and human-readable HTML formats, while an optional .env file allows customization of user agents and proxies.

Developer Releases PhishIntel Open-Source Tool for Phishing Site Analysis and Risk Scoring

A developer has published PhishIntel, a lightweight Python-based OSINT application designed to analyze domains and evaluate phishing risk. The tool performs extensive checks including domain structure analysis, DNS records, RDAP and WHOIS data, TLS certificates, HTTP redirects, page content, security headers, and JavaScript static analysis. It generates structured JSON reports containing risk scores with explanatory indicators. Optional integrations with VirusTotal, Google Safe Browsing, URLhaus, Nmap, Nuclei, ZAP, and Playwright enable reputation checks, dynamic browser analysis, and active scanning. The project aims to help identify suspicious sites used in schemes such as the recent fake fuel sales campaign that defrauded victims of at least 3.7 million rubles. The author invites feedback from security professionals to improve the codebase.
