> OSINT Directory

External tools for checking your own exposure and learning how the field works - not a directory of leaked data, and not a route to any. Anything that indexes or distributes stolen data was excluded outright during vetting, not just flagged. Caution notes are carried over verbatim where they apply.

OSINT means gathering information from publicly available sources rather than hacking or stealing anything - a breach checker is OSINT, a site that sells the actual leaked passwords is not, and the difference is the whole skill. Full breakdown, including where Google dorking fits in and how professional investigators actually work, lives in the GAMA⁺ Wiki.
