What is Dark Trawl


A Next‑Gen OSINT Platform for Ethical Hackers, Researchers, & Security Enthusiasts
Introduction
In today’s data-dense world, open-source intelligence (OSINT) isn’t just valuable—it’s essential. But sifting through public information manually can be daunting. Dark Trawl changes all that.
Built by a dedicated team of cybersecurity researchers, Dark Trawl empowers users—from penetration testers to journalists—to extract, analyze, and visualize public data faster, safer, and smarter.
Why We Created Dark Trawl
While exploring existing OSINT tools, we noticed they often:
Required steep learning curves
Lacked real-time capabilities
Didn't prioritize ethical and legal considerations
Were fragmented and hard to combine
So we asked: What if OSINT tools were intuitive, real-time, and ethically aware? That’s how Dark Trawl was born.
