What problem it solves

Investigating a phone number requires combining basic number details with configured scanners, external APIs, phone books, search engines, and reputation sources. The project aims to assist this research while making its limits clear: it does not provide verified data, track a phone in real time, reveal a precise location, or hack a phone.

Key features

• Phone number validation — Scans can check whether a phone number exists.

  Source: README

• Basic carrier details — Collects information about the country, line type, carrier, area, and other basic attributes associated with an international phone number.

  Source: README

• OSINT footprinting — Uses configured scanners and external sources, including APIs, phone books, and search engines, to look for footprint data.

  Source: README

• Reputation and social footprint checks — Scans can look for reputation reports, social media mentions, disposable numbers, and related information.

  Source: README

• Browser and programmatic interfaces — Scans are available through a graphical browser interface, a REST API, and Go modules.

Who it may suit

Inference: may suit security researchers, OSINT practitioners, and developers who need to assess the available footprint of international phone numbers. The project is described as stable but unmaintained, so prospective users should verify its current compatibility and scanner configuration needs.

Topics to discuss

• Which scanner configurations are recommended for common international phone-number investigations?

• How should the community maintain or fork the project now that it is stable but unmaintained?

• What additions or corrections would make the REST API, browser interface, and Go module interfaces more useful?
