⚡ What's New in v1.24.0

Streamlined to two themes

The web console now ships two carefully tuned themes built on semantic role tokens — Dark (a deep-slate federal console, the default) and Light (clean and print-friendly). Switch from the ☀ / ☾ segmented control in the nav; your choice persists in the browser and is applied before first paint, so there's no flash on reload. Every token in both themes is validated to WCAG AA contrast.

Plain-language interface

The web UI was rewritten from codenames to clear, function-first labels — Dashboard, New Scan, Scans, Profiler, Integrations — so a first-time user can tell what everything does. Findings, Risk Score, Data Sources, and consistent severity language throughout.

Roboto type + signal mark

Roboto for UI text (tables, terminal, and code stay monospace for alignment), a font-based signal glyph replacing the old ASCII logo, and a PS-monogram favicon.

Clickable dashboard + one-click re-scan

Dashboard stat cards are now links into the matching view, and any completed scan can be re-run against the same target with its original profile, modules, and options — from the results page or any Scans-list row.

Honest risk gradient

The Risk Score meter now runs a true green → amber → red ramp, so a low score reads green (safe) at a glance in every theme.


🎬 A Scan in Action

A single command runs the full pipeline — DNS and WHOIS resolution, port and service scanning, technology fingerprinting, threat-intelligence correlation across 45+ sources, and a web-surface crawl — then rolls every finding into a single Risk Score and writes a shareable HTML report.

$ phantomsignal scan example.com --profile standard --format html

◈  Target   : example.com  (domain)
◈  Profile  : standard     (~2–5 min)
◈  Modules  : dns_recon port_scan tech_detect api_hunt web_crawl intel

[1/6] DNS & WHOIS ......... 42 records · 7 subdomains
[2/6] Port scan .......... 6 open · 22 80 443 8080 …
[3/6] Tech fingerprint ... nginx · Cloudflare · React · WordPress
[4/6] Threat intel ....... 31 sources queried · 0 malicious
[5/6] Web crawl .......... 128 URLs · 3 exposed endpoints
[6/6] Scoring ............ Risk Score 34 / 100 (MEDIUM)

✓  Report written → ./reports/example.com.html

Stages run concurrently where possible and degrade gracefully — a module without a configured API key returns empty rather than failing the scan.

Web UI — Theme Options

The web console ships with two built-in themes, selectable from the segmented switch (☀ / ☾) in the top navigation bar. Your preference is saved automatically and applied before first paint, so there's no flash on reload. Every token in every theme is validated to WCAG AA contrast.

Theme Description
Dark (default) Deep-slate federal console — federal-blue hero, gold accents, restrained glow
Light Clean daytime / print-friendly — white surfaces, federal-blue accents, flat (no glow)

⚡ What is PhantomSignal?

PhantomSignal is a community-powered, open-source OSINT intelligence framework built for security researchers, penetration testers, investigators, and enthusiasts. It combines web scraping, network reconnaissance, people intelligence aggregation, and threat analysis into a single cohesive platform.

LEGAL DISCLAIMER: PhantomSignal is for authorized security research, OSINT investigations, and educational purposes only. Only scan targets you have explicit permission to test. You are solely responsible for compliance with all applicable laws. The developers assume NO liability for misuse.


🔥 Features

🕷 Web Reconnaissance

  • Scrapy-powered deep web crawler with JavaScript rendering support
  • Technology detection — fingerprints 50+ technologies (CMS, frameworks, CDNs, WAFs)
  • API endpoint hunter — discovers REST APIs, GraphQL, Swagger docs, admin panels, .env leaks
  • Security header analysis with graded posture scoring
  • Email, phone, link, and comment harvesting

🌐 Network Intelligence

  • nmap-powered port scanner — full service-version detection and OS fingerprinting via nmap (-sV -O); pure-Python async TCP fallback when nmap unavailable — no config required
  • Expanded port coverage — 99 common ports by default, 1,000+ port profile, or full 65,535; covers WinRM, Webmin, InfluxDB, Docker API, Kubernetes, and more
  • DNS recon — A/AAAA/MX/NS/TXT/SOA/CAA, zone transfer attempts, subdomain brute-force
  • Certificate transparency via crt.sh — uncover subdomains via SSL history
  • SPF/DMARC analysis — identify email spoofing vulnerabilities
  • Reverse DNS and co-hosted domain discovery

🔌 Adding Custom APIs

PhantomSignal uses a plugin architecture. Adding a new intelligence source takes ~20 lines:

# phantomsignal/intel/apis/my_api.py
from phantomsignal.intel.apis.base import BaseIntelAPI, register_api, APICategory, APITier

@register_api
class MyAPI(BaseIntelAPI):
    NAME = "myapi"
    DESCRIPTION = "My custom intelligence source"
    REQUIRES_KEY = True
    TIER = APITier.FREE_LIMITED
    CATEGORIES = [APICategory.NETWORK]
    BASE_URL = "https://api.myservice.com/v1"
    SIGN_UP_URL = "https://myservice.com/signup"

    async def search(self, query: str, **kwargs):
        data = await self._get(
            f"{self.BASE_URL}/search",
            params={"q": query, "key": self._api_key}
        )
        return [self._wrap_result("my_result", data)]

Then import it in phantomsignal/intel/orchestrator.py and it auto-registers.
