14 open-source tools. All free, all verified live today — ⭐ stars and last-commit dates included so you can see what’s actually maintained.

> 🎯 **Only want one?** → **Maigret** for OSINT · **Hackingtool** for pentesting · **Uptime Kuma** for monitoring. The rest are situational.

## 🕵 Username → every account they own

⚠ **These 4 overlap heavily.** Start with Maigret; reach for the others only when it misses.

**[Maigret](https://github.com/soxoj/maigret)** · ⭐ 37.1k · Aug 2026 — **the default.** 3,000+ sites incl. .onion. Doesn’t just check existence — parses bios, photos, links, then recursively hunts the _new_ usernames it finds. HTML/PDF reports, no API keys.

**[GoSearch](https://github.com/ibnaleem/gosearch)** · ⭐ 3.6k · Aug 2026 — 300+ sites, Go-fast, fewer false positives. **Its edge:** also checks breach dumps — HudsonRock, ProxyNova (3.2B), BreachDirectory (18B).

**[Blackbird](https://github.com/p1ngul1n0/blackbird)** · ⭐ 7.9k · ⚠ Jul 2025 — 600+ platforms, AI risk-scores each hit, bulk input from file, PDF/CSV out.

**[Helix](https://github.com/thalha-a9/helix)** · ⭐ 25 · ⚠ Jun 2026 — **zero false positives** by design: validates through real APIs (Reddit, GitHub, Bluesky) instead of trusting a 200. Handles Cloudflare/WAF, outputs a D3.js connection graph. `--permutations` tests name variants.

## 🤖 AI does the investigating

**[Robin](https://github.com/apurvsinghgautam/robin)** · ⭐ 6.6k · Aug 2026 — dark-web OSINT. LLM refines your queries, filters results, writes the summary.

**[OpenOSINT](https://github.com/OpenOSINT/OpenOSINT)** · ⭐ 1.5k · Aug 2026 — terminal agent that **picks its own tools and order.** Feed it an email/domain/IP/phone → structured Markdown report. 10 modules, HIBP + EXIF + dorks + WHOIS built in. Runs fully offline on Ollama.

**[DeepDive](https://github.com/Sinndarkblade/deepdive)** · ⭐ 17 · ⚠ Apr 2026 — builds a **3D entity graph** (people/companies/money/places) and keeps expanding it. Timeline + Sankey money-flow views, exports to Obsidian. Ask it “who else got paid by this company?”

* * *

## 📦 Whole arsenals, one command

**[Hackingtool](https://github.com/Z4nzu/hackingtool)** · ⭐ 79.2k · Aug 2026 — 185+ security tools, 20 categories, one menu. Shows what’s installed, installs from the menu, auto-detects your package manager. Describe a task (“scan a network”) and it suggests the tool.

**[Awesome OSINT Arsenal](https://github.com/rawfilejson/awesome-osint-arsenal)** · ⭐ 2.6k · Aug 2026 — 100+ tools across SOCMINT, GEOINT, dark web, forensics. One-command installer for the lot.

* * *

## 🖥 Set up / clean up your machine

**[Linutil](https://github.com/ChrisTitusTech/linutil)** · ⭐ 5.2k · Aug 2026 — Chris Titus’ Rust TUI. Fresh-Linux setup without Googling commands: apps, dev env, gaming/server tuning. Works across Ubuntu/Arch/Fedora, picks the right command per distro. TOML config automates a full rebuild.

**[Bloatynosy](https://github.com/builtbybel/Bloatynosy)** · ⭐ 5.6k · ⚠ Jan 2025 — one-click Windows debloat. Strips UWP junk (Xbox, Candy Crush…), kills telemetry, ad IDs, Cortana, cloud clipboard — no registry or PowerShell.

* * *

## 📡 Monitoring

**[Uptime Kuma](https://github.com/louislam/uptime-kuma)** · ⭐ 90.7k · Aug 2026 — self-hosted uptime for HTTP/TCP/Ping/DNS. 80+ notify integrations, public status page, one Docker command. Runs on a Pi.

* * *

## ⬇ Downloader

**[youtube-dl-wpf](https://github.com/database64128/youtube-dl-wpf)** · ⭐ 1.4k · Aug 2026 — clean Windows GUI over yt-dlp. Clips → full movies, playlists, podcasts. Pick quality/format, batch in parallel. No ads, no signup.

* * *

## 🌐 Anti-detect browser

**[CloakBrowser](https://github.com/CloakHQ/CloakBrowser)** · ⭐ 30.9k · Aug 2026 — Chromium with **49 patches in the C++ source** , not JS injections. Masks canvas, WebGL, audio, fonts, GPU, WebRTC, timing. Drop-in for Playwright/Puppeteer, `humanize=True` for natural input. MIT.

⚠ Their “30/30 detection tests passed” and “reCAPTCHA v3 scores 0.9” are the project’s own claims — unverified by anyone else.
