A standalone HTML tool for building OSINT queries and opening a hand-picked source catalogue.
QueryTool is a standalone HTML file for building queries, filtering sources, and opening links in new tabs.
It is not meant to be a huge OSINT catalogue. The selection is subjective and focused on sources useful in everyday work.
- Build Google-style queries with
site:,filetype:,intitle:,inurl:and exclusions. - Filter sources by category, target type, subcategory, access model, and availability.
- Select several sources and open matching links in separate browser tabs.
- Import or export a browser session as JSON.
Download or clone the repository, then open querytool.html in a modern browser. No installation, build step, server, or configuration is needed.
The source catalogue is built into the HTML file, so it works offline until you open a source link.
data/querytool_sources.xlsx is the main catalogue. It contains one Sources table with 178 records for filtering, sorting, and editing. data/querytool_sources.csv is its generated UTF-8 copy for other tools.
