The release of the Snoop 1.4.0 project has been published, developing a forensic OSINT tool that searches for user accounts in public data (open source intelligence). The program analyzes various sites, forums and social networks for the presence of the required username, i.e. allows you to determine on which sites there is a user with the specified nickname. The project was developed based on research materials in the field of scraping public data. Builds are prepared for Linux and Windows.
The code is written in Python and is distributed under a license restricting its use to personal use only. Moreover, the project is a fork from the code base of the Sherlock project, supplied under the MIT license (the fork was created due to the inability to expand the base of sites).
Snoop is included in the Russian Unified Register of Russian programs for electronic computers and databases with the declared code 26.30.11.16: “Software that ensures the implementation of established actions during operational-search activities:: No7012 order 07.10.2020 No515.” At the moment, Snoop tracks the presence of a user on more than 3,700 Internet resources in the full version and the most popular resources in the Demo version.
Main changes:
• The search database has been expanded to 3716 sites.
• By 140%, i.e. almost 2.5 times, the search in the Snoop version for GNU/Linux is accelerated (with an Internet connection speed of at least 12 Mbit/s, searching by username in the full Snoop database in the quick mode '--quick/-q' lasts less minutes.
• Accelerated launch of Snoop on older Windows/HDD PCs.
• Added a new and smart algorithm for auto-detection of clearly unspecified/problematic/confused site encodings when searching in various modes.
• Expanded information content in the CLI when searching in a reduced database using filter options: '--site', '--exclude' or '--include' (the number of websites when narrowing the search is displayed in square brackets to the right of the total number of sites DB).
• The warning threshold for Bad_raw has been raised from 2% to 2.5%.
• Improved formatting of information in the CLI on small/compressed terminals, for example, in the CLI Termux on Android (added automatic line indentation taking into account the user's CLI environment).
• Updated HTML report:
button styles have been changed;
added highlighting and enlarged lines from the list of sites when hovering the cursor (it is now difficult to miss when moving through the list when selecting a resource);
removed duplicate line/tautology about how many resources 'username' was found on;
the visual component of the grouping of country flags has been increased;
added display of soundtrack titles when hovering over them.
• Fixed auto-testing of the network in the '--verbose/-v' verbalization mode in the case when tests sometimes failed due to the refusal of some servers to accept a connection over an unsecured channel.
• In all versions of Snoop, sound notifications about errors and about the end of the search have been removed from the CLI.
• Light builds have been added to the full version of Snoop, allowing you to launch the software almost instantly.
• On the Android platform, search in verbalization mode has been slightly accelerated.
• On the Android platform, if the user prefers to open html reports manually and from his FM GUI, then now all styles are pulled up.
• Updated plugins 'GEO_IP/domain' and 'ReverseVgeocoder'. Data visualization in html reports in full versions of Snoop has been expanded, in particular the following has been added:
switch for filtering data by country;
graphs with statistics on countries, regions, objects, providers;
new layer - topographic maps, changes by click/slide;
full screen switching mode;
auto display of coordinates at any point on the map;
ruler scale;
a memo displaying statistics on InvalidData;
copyright;
search;
in the 'ReverseVgeocoder' plugin the coverage/accuracy scale for counties/objects in RU, EU and CIS locations has been increased by 10-100 times.
