Horizon Identity: Fast-Track Identity Intelligence for OSINT Investigations

ShadowDragon’s new Horizon® Identity feature revolutionizes open-source intelligence (OSINT) by automating identity enrichment for investigations. This tool accelerates due diligence, threat hunting, fraud detection, and brand protection by generating high-fidelity profiles from public data in seconds.

Key Features:

✔ Instant Identity Enrichment – Rapidly compile data into actionable profiles.
✔ Reduced Investigation Time – Eliminates manual cross-referencing across platforms.
✔ Uncovers Hidden Connections – Detects links manual OSINT may miss.
✔ No Scraping or Guesswork – Reliable, compliant data aggregation.

You Should Know: Practical OSINT Commands & Techniques

1. Basic OSINT Data Gathering (Linux/Windows)

• Reverse WHOIS Lookup (Linux):

  curl -s "https://api.viewdns.info/reversewhois/?q=example.com&apikey=YOUR_API_KEY&output=json" | jq
  

• Email Verification (Python + Hunter.io API):

  import requests 
  email = "[email protected]" 
  api_key = "YOUR_API_KEY" 
  response = requests.get(f"https://api.hunter.io/v2/email-verifier?email={email}&api_key={api_key}") 
  print(response.json()) 
  

2. Dark Web Monitoring (Tor + OnionScan)

• Scan Dark Web Links:

  onionscan --torProxyAddress=127.0.0.1:9050 --jsonReport example.onion
  

• Check Breached Credentials (HaveIBeenPwned CLI):

  curl -s "https://haveibeenpwned.com/api/v3/breachedaccount/$email" -H "hibp-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY"
  

3. Automating Horizon®-Like Enrichment

• Social Media Scraping (Twint – Twitter OSINT):

  twint -u @targetuser --verified --followers -o results.json --json
  

• Domain Reputation Check (VirusTotal API):

  curl -s -X GET "https://www.virustotal.com/api/v3/domains/example.com" -H "x-apikey: YOUR_API_KEY"
  

4. Windows-Based OSINT Tools

• Metadata Extraction (ExifTool):

  exiftool -a -u -g1 file.jpg
  

• Network Recon (Ping + Tracert):

  ping target.com 
  tracert target.com
  

What Undercode Say

Horizon® Identity bridges the gap between fragmented OSINT tools, offering a unified approach to identity intelligence. For cybersecurity professionals, combining automated tools with manual verification (e.g., cross-checking social media via Maltego or SpiderFoot) ensures accuracy.

Expected Output:

• Structured identity profiles from Horizon®.
• Corroborated data via CLI tools (Twint, WHOIS, VirusTotal).
• Dark web insights via OnionScan & breached credential checks.

Prediction

As AI-driven OSINT grows, expect deeper integration of tools like Horizon® with threat intelligence platforms (e.g., MISP, Recorded Future) for real-time identity risk scoring.
