ValeInfoga

ValeInfoga is an open-source information-gathering tool used in OSINT to collect publicly available data about individuals or organizations. It is designed to help investigators enumerate email addresses, associated domains, and digital footprints by querying multiple public data sources.

The project features a modular plugin architecture that integrates data sources such as search engines, social networks, domain registries, breach repositories, and public archives. It provides a command-line interface, supports batch processing, and can export results in formats such as JSON and CSV for further analysis. It is designed to run on common operating systems and can be installed from package managers or from source code.

ValeInfoga is intended for legitimate uses by security professionals, researchers, and threat intelligence teams conducting authorized assessments, investigations, or compliance work. Users should obtain proper authorization and comply with applicable laws, terms of service, and privacy considerations. The tool is not a replacement for professional judgment or due diligence.

Limitations and ethical considerations include that data collected is public and may be incomplete or outdated, leading to inaccuracies or false positives. Misuse may violate privacy or laws, and using the tool can trigger security controls or account protections. Responsible handling of data is essential, and users should adhere to ethical guidelines and organizational policies when conducting OSINT activities.
