"Any form of attention, even negative, is preferable to being overlooked or insignificant."
"It's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring."

OSINT Navigator
“We built OSINT Navigator to make it easier for investigators and researchers to find the right tools for the job — and discover tools they didn’t know existed. Navigator allows you to enter a question like “How do I find the owner of a website?” or “How do I research a YouTube video?” and receive a mix of AI- and community-recommended tools and guidance. You can try it out right now for free at https://navigator.indicator.media/. OSINT Navigator draws on a curated database of more than 7,500 tools from nine independent OSINT toolkits (see the list below). The dataset is open-source and can be accessed here.
We’re grateful to the creators of the toolkits for allowing us to include their content in Navigator’s search results. When you ask a question, an LLM retrieves the most relevant tools and generates a tailored response. Answers can also be contributed by investigators in the community — all responses are ranked by user votes, so the most useful ones will rise to the top. It’s really helpful for you to rate and submit answers. Navigator offers 10 free searches per day for anyone.
Indicator members receive 50 daily queries and the ability to use an API or a Model Context Protocol (MCP) connection to query Navigator from within an AI agent or tool. (Be sure to login with the email that’s connected to your membership.) You also have the option to run Navigator locally in your browser, which we detail below. Navigator is developed by Tom Vaillant, a journalist and technologist who runs Buried Signals, in partnership with Indicator.”
