PhantomSignal :: Open-Source OSINT Intelligence Framework
Project description
PhantomSignal
The OPSEC-native OSINT framework — "Map the surface. Own the signal."
Recon that doesn't burn your infrastructure — a stealth egress layer under every module, and an honest per-scan report of exactly what you leaked.
⚡ What's New in v1.27.0 — Identity intelligence + egress you can see
The Profiler grew up. Eight new keyless public sources feed it, every run is now saved as a scan you can revisit and export, and the whole stealth posture is visible in the navbar and survives a restart.
- 8 no-key identity sources — XposedOrNot (breach exposure with no HIBP key), a GitHub commit-email harvester (real name + email from public commits), GitLab, Wikidata (DOB + cross-linked socials for named people), WebFinger (fediverse resolution), offline phone intel via libphonenumber (zero network egress), openFEC (US employer/occupation), and OpenCorporates.
- Profiler → Scans — a Profiler search now persists as a
people_intelscan (with a linked shadow profile), so it lands in Scans with history, summary, and export. A View in Scans button jumps straight there. - Egress routed + graded — the keyless sources inherit the shared proxy pool and land in the attribution ledger. A STEALTH / PARTIAL / DIRECT chip in the navbar shows your live posture at a glance.
- Proxy pools in one click — seed the rotating pool from curated free feeds, a custom URL, or an uploaded list, right from Scan Settings.
- Settings persist — stealth profile, proxy pool, rotation, and the rest now survive a restart.
See the CHANGELOG for the full list.
⚡ What's New in v1.26.0 — Best-of-breed engines + the vuln loop
PhantomSignal now closes the ASM loop and runs fast Go-native engines — under stealth governance. It maps the surface and flags what's exploitable, and orchestrates the best external tools when installed without ever breaking the OPSEC guarantees.
🎯 Vulnerability scanning (nuclei)
The new vuln_scan module wraps nuclei, emitting vulnerability findings
with normalised severity into the Findings & Exposure view, and exporting them as
STIX 2.1 Vulnerability SDOs. Active and loud, so it's strictly opt-in — never
part of the default sweep.
⚡ Speed adapters, native fallback preserved
Optional Go-native engines join the pipeline when installed and fall back to the
pure-Python modules when not — a binary-free pip install keeps working:
| Module | Tool | Posture | Fallback |
|---|---|---|---|
subdomain_enum_fast |
subfinder | proxied | native enumerator |
port_scan_fast |
naabu | attributable (raw socket) | native scanner |
web_crawl_fast |
katana | proxied (with a proxy) | native crawler |
tls_fingerprint |
tlsx | attributable | complements infra_pivot |
Every adapter inherits the shared proxy egress where the tool supports it, and is tagged honestly in the attribution report — a raw-socket scanner is never labelled "masked."
⚡ Also new — OPSEC Core (v1.25.0)
PhantomSignal reports its own attribution surface. No other open-source OSINT framework tells you what a scan leaked about you.
🛰 Attribution Surface — "what did this scan leak?"
Every scan ends with an honest OPSEC grade — masked, partial, exposed, or quiet — computed from real egress telemetry, not marketing:
- % proxied vs. direct — how many requests left through the proxy pool vs. straight from your IP.
- JA3/JA4 profiles presented — which browser TLS fingerprints you wore, and how often.
- WAF challenges & adaptive backoffs — where a defence noticed you.
- Per-module OPSEC breakdown — every module tagged
stealth-guaranteed,proxied, orattributable, so you see which parts of a run are masked and which are traceable back to you.
The grade is deliberately unflattering: any attributable module, or under-50% proxied traffic, caps it. The point of an OPSEC-native tool is to tell you the truth about your footprint — not to always read green.
🧅 Stealth layer under every module
The shared stealth client (proxy pool + per-host adaptive pacing + sticky browser identity + optional JA3/JA4 impersonation) is now the spine. Target-facing document downloads route through it too — no more scanner User-Agent hitting the target directly.
🧩 Module registry
A @register_module plugin registry (mirroring the intel-API pattern) replaces
the engine's hard-coded module table — new recon modules join the pipeline by
registering, and declare their OPSEC posture up front.
🎬 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 --opsec quiet --format html
◈ Target : example.com (domain)
◈ Profile : standard (~2–5 min)
◈ OPSEC : quiet (proxy pool · adaptive pacing · JA3)
◈ 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)
◈ OPSEC ............. MASKED · 94% proxied · JA3: chrome124 · 0 direct
✓ 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) |

Every network source routes through the stealth egress layer.
👤 Profiler (People Intelligence)
LexisNexis-style identity aggregation from public records:
- Cross-correlates data from multiple people-search APIs — many keyless
- Discovers emails, phones, addresses, relatives, employers
- Breach correlation via XposedOrNot (no key), HIBP, and Intelligence X
- Real name + email harvested from public GitHub/GitLab commits
- Social media profile linking; fediverse resolution via WebFinger
- Risk Score — digital exposure quantification (0-100)
- Every run is saved as a scan — persisted as a
people_intelscan with a linked shadow profile, so it shows up under Scans with history, summary, and export (with a View in Scans shortcut from the results page)

Config File
Copy config/phantomsignal.yaml to ~/.phantomsignal/config.yaml and customize.
Egress / stealth (Settings → Scan Settings)
Set your stealth profile, single proxy, and rotating proxy pool from the web UI.
Seed the pool from curated free proxy feeds, a custom list URL, or an uploaded
file. These egress settings are saved to ~/.phantomsignal/config.yaml and
persist across restarts (env-provided API keys are never copied there). Free
public proxies are unvetted — treat them as blend-in cover for low-sensitivity
recon, pair with HTTPS, and prefer your own egress for anything sensitive.
🔌 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.
