    #150 this week

    Open-source intelligence for the global theater. Track everything from the corporate/private jets of the wealthy, and spy satellites, to seismic events in one unified interface. Hook an AI agent up to have it parse through data and find previously unseen correlations. The knowledge is available to all but rarely aggregated in the open, until now.

    Use Cases & Benefits

    • Aggregates and visualizes real-time global OSINT telemetry from 60+ live feeds into a unified geospatial intelligence map interface.
    • Enables comprehensive multi-domain situational awareness by combining diverse public data sources with a self-hosted, privacy-respecting backend.
    • Use for tracking private jets, military aircraft, satellites, and maritime vessels with detailed entity expansion and live overlays.
    • Use for conducting security-focused recon with integrated Shodan API access and a full OSINT toolkit for IP, DNS, WHOIS, and threat intelligence lookups.
    • Use for decentralized intelligence communication and governance via the built-in InfoNet mesh network and agentic AI command channel integration.

    From the README

    Global Threat Intercept — Real-Time Geospatial Intelligence Platform

    ShadowBroker is a decentralized intelligence platform that aggregates real-time, multi-domain OSINT telemetry from 60+ live intelligence feeds into a single dark-ops map interface. Aircraft, ships, satellites, conflict zones, CCTV networks, GPS jamming, internet-connected devices, police scanners, mesh radio nodes, and breaking geopolitical events — all updating in real time on one screen as well as an obfuscated communications protocol and information exchange infrastructure.

    ⚡ Quick Start (Docker)

    Both paths produce identical containers — same source, same CI, same images byte-for-byte. Pick whichever ecosystem you already use.

    Open http://localhost:3000 to view the dashboard! (Requires Docker Desktop or Docker Engine)

    Join the private InfoNet swarm (sb-testnet-0): Click NODE in the dashboard, or run ./meshnode.sh for a headless participant. No manual peer list — fleet defaults discover the seed and pull the signed manifest automatically. Set MESH_INFONET_FLEET_JOIN=false in .env for a private solo node.

    Backend port already in use? The browser only needs port 3000, but the backend API is also published on host port 8000 for local diagnostics. If another app already uses 8000, create or edit .env next to docker-compose.yml and set BACKEND_PORT=8001, then run docker compose up -d.
