Detailed Introduction

Maigret is an open-source intelligence (OSINT) tool that collects a dossier on a person by username only. It checks for accounts on a huge number of sites (3000+ supported) and extracts all available public information from profile pages. It requires no API keys and can run recursively using discovered usernames. The tool supports filtering by site categories/countries, works with Tor/I2P, and offers a web interface for graphical results. It also includes an optional AI analysis mode that summarizes findings. Used by professional OSINT platforms.
