⚡ OSINT Intelligence Framework ⚡

🩸 Blood is the Key 🩸

A comprehensive OSINT toolkit for cybersecurity professionals, penetration testers, bug bounty hunters, and digital forensics investigators.


🎉 What's New in v2.1.3

  • 📦 Package hardening — secrets (config.py, Shodan JSON) stay out of git and PyPI wheels
  • ⌨️ Interactive pause — About / Connect / Theme wait for Enter before redrawing the menu
  • 🔑 Shodan keys outside the tree — ~/.config-vritrasecz/ only (legacy in-tree config.py read-only)
  • 📚 Docs sync — README, layout, and install paths match the bloodrecon/ package
v2.0.1 / v2.0.0 / v1.2.0 release notes

v2.0.1 — single professional palette, menu alignment fixes, --list, interactive aliases. See CHANGELOG.md.

v2.0.0 — themeable redesign, package entry points, registry architecture, and module hardening.

v1.2.0 — Shodan --shodan-api CLI setup and ~/.config-vritrasecz/bloodrecon-shodan.json storage.

🔑 API Key Configuration

# one-time setup
bloodrecon --shodan-api "your_shodan_api_key_here"

# then use
bloodrecon --shodan 8.8.8.8
  • Storage: ~/.config-vritrasecz/bloodrecon-shodan.json
  • Directory is created automatically; new keys replace old ones
  • Get a key at account.shodan.io

Alternatives

# environment variable
export SHODAN_API_KEY="your_api_key_here"
bloodrecon --shodan 8.8.8.8

Optional file (outside the package tree):

# ~/.config-vritrasecz/config.py
SHODAN_API_KEY = 'your_shodan_api_key_here'

If no key is configured, interactive mode prompts and saves it.
