BCBC OSINT Tools Evaluation Registry v3

Public standalone release • Evidence-first provider evaluation • Verified/researched 2026-09-02

Purpose: Evaluate mature OSINT tools and data providers without rebuilding commodity plumbing. BCBC's integration rule is to keep raw evidence, provider identity, version/timestamp, uncertainty, and AI interpretation separate.

Authorized research only. This registry itself does not scan, query, contact, or investigate any target. Any linked third-party tool must be used within applicable law, authorization, provider terms, privacy requirements, and data-handling rules.

Third-party product names, trademarks, code, APIs, and documentation remain subject to their respective owners' licenses and terms. No third-party binaries or source code are bundled in this file.

Added Export standalone HTML so local edits can be embedded into a shareable copy instead of being trapped in browser localStorage.

BCBC evidence rules

Rule	Operational meaning
Evidence before interpretation	Keep original provider/tool output available separately from AI summaries.
Provenance always	Record tool/provider, relevant version, timestamp, query scope, and source URL where practical.
VERIFIED / CONTRADICTED / UNKNOWN	Do not collapse uncertainty into a confident narrative.
Correlation is not identity proof	A matching username, photo, domain, phone, or social pattern is evidence requiring corroboration.
Partial failure is visible	A failed provider should not erase successful evidence from other providers.
Authorization boundary	Active scanning is restricted to systems owned by or explicitly authorized for the operator.
