Decentralized federated social medium (aka fediverse) is the talk of the town especially with the twitter drama that’s unfolding right now. To know more about fediverse softwares https://fediverse.party/en/miscellaneous/ is the best list of softwares.
I was curious about OSINT activities that are possible with this ecosystem. I have been spending some time exploring mastodon, pixelfed and other softwares and building some basic understanding of how interactions work or some part of it.
Introducing: https://github.com/anantshri/fediverse_osint
This is the first alpha version of the code base and can perform some very basic operations.
- It can detect if the provided domain is participating in Fediverse
- It can detect if the specific fediverse exists (username@domain.tld)
- It can also search for a specific username across a large array of fediverse servers. List sourced from fediverse.party
This is just the start and there is a lot more to be done.
