Validates the existence of registered accounts across social & shopping platforms and extracts rich identity intelligence (Names, Photos, IDs).
Project description
Aarya (आर्य)
The Advanced OSINT Email Scanner
Aarya is an OSINT tool that validates the existence of email addresses across social media, shopping, and professional platforms (e.g. Instagram, Amazon, Spotify).
- It leverages Asynchronous HTTP Requests (httpx) to perform lightning-fast, concurrent checks without the overhead of a web browser.
- It silently verifies accounts using "Forgot Password" APIs, registration endpoints, and public profile scrapes.
🚀 Features
- Deep Analysis: Goes beyond simple "Yes/No" results to extract rich metadata like Google Maps reviews, Profile Pictures, Gaia IDs, and ProtonMail key creation dates.
- Full Visibility: Reports positive hits, negative results, rate limits, and errors explicitly so you never miss a detail.
- Smart Stealth: Automatically fetches the latest real-world User-Agents from the web to bypass simple bot detection filters.
- Elegant UI: Professional, minimalist CLI design with responsive tables and clean link wrapping.
🆚 Aarya vs. Holehe
During development of this tool I came to know that another great tool was already there which was similar to Aarya.
here is why Aarya outperforms.
| Feature | Holehe | Aarya |
|---|---|---|
| Primary Output | Email Existence (True/False) | Identity Intelligence (Real Names, Photos, Maps Reviews) |
| Reliability | Prone to False Negatives | High (Explicitly detects Rate Limits vs. Not Found) |
| Stealth | Static Headers | Dynamic (Auto-fetches latest User-Agents) |
| Focus | Quantity (120+ Sites) | Quality (Deep scans of High-Value Targets) |
| UI/UX | Basic CLI | Modern (Rich Tables, Clickable Links, Summary Panels) |
🔍 Use Cases in Recon & Intel
1. Verification & Validation
Confirm if a target email is active. A "ghost" email (no accounts anywhere) is a high-risk indicator for fraud or burner accounts, whereas an email with established accounts verifies the identity exists.
2. Social Engineering Context
Aarya helps Red Teamers map the digital footprint of a target. Knowing a target uses Duolingo or Wattpad allows for highly tailored phishing pretexts (e.g., "Your Duolingo streak is in danger" vs generic corporate emails).
3. Identity Correlation
By extracting unique identifiers like the Google Gaia ID or ProtonMail public key date, Aarya helps correlate an email address with real-world timelines, locations, and other digital identities across the web.
4. Credibility of Credential Reuse (Post-Exploitation)
If a target's password is compromised (via phishing or a data breach) for one verified platform, Aarya provides a precise roadmap of other active services where that same password might be reused, highlighting critical risks for credential stuffing attacks.
5. Corporate OpSec Auditing
Security teams can scan corporate email domains to detect "Shadow IT" or policy violations. Discovering that an employee used their official name@company.com address to sign up for Instagram or Amazon highlights potential attack surfaces and credential leakage risks.
6. OSINT Pivot Points
Aarya acts as a signpost for deeper investigation. A confirmed Google account signals an investigator to search for public Maps reviews or Photos. A confirmed Instagram account invites a search for public profile associated with that email. The tool identifies where to look next for public data.
7. Credibility Analysis (Anti-Fraud)
In fraud investigations, account age acts as a trust signal. An email address linked to a ProtonMail key created 3 years ago or a Google account with Maps contributions from 2019 is far more likely to be legitimate than a "fresh" email with absolutely no digital footprint.
