About Ignorant
Ignorant is an OSINT tool that allows you to check if a phone number is used on different platforms like Snapchat, Instagram, and other services. Unlike tools that scrape profiles, Ignorant works by using the password reset and account recovery flows of various services, which typically reveal whether an account exists for a given phone number without notifying the account holder. This makes it a passive reconnaissance tool - the target receives no notification that their phone number was checked. Ignorant is written in Python with a modular architecture that makes it easy to add new platform checks. It's particularly useful during the reconnaissance phase of social engineering assessments, missing person investigations, or when building a profile of a target's digital footprint across services.
About PhoneInfoga
PhoneInfoga is an advanced tool for performing OSINT on phone numbers. It can scan phone numbers using free resources to gather detailed information such as carrier details, geolocation data, and whether the number is disposable. Written in Go, it leverages various online APIs without requiring direct interaction with the phone number, making it a useful tool for security researchers and investigators looking to uncover information with minimal trace.
