history

Project history and usage

PhoneInfoga is an OSINT framework for gathering and correlating public information about international phone numbers through local parsing, external services, search footprints, a CLI, and a web API.

Project history

PhoneInfoga was developed by Sundowndev as an open-source phone-number information-gathering framework. The modern Go-based application combines a CLI and REST API with a Vue.js web client and supports externally supplied scanner credentials and plugins.

Adoption history

PhoneInfoga is distributed as cross-platform binaries, a container image, and a Homebrew formula. Its official usage guide also exposes a stateless REST API and browser client, extending adoption beyond interactive CLI use.

How it is used

Users run `phoneinfoga scan -n` with an international number. Scanner configuration comes from environment variables, `./.env`, or a file selected with `--env-file`; unconfigured authenticated scanners are skipped. `phoneinfoga serve` starts the REST API and optional web client.

Why package nerds care

PhoneInfoga packages several stages of phone-number OSINT into one tool: normalization and carrier data, optional authenticated data providers, search-engine footprint generation, plugins, a web interface, and an API. Its explicit anti-features distinguish reconnaissance from real-time tracking or verified identity attribution.

Timeline

Initial project: Sundowndev created PhoneInfoga as a phone-number reconnaissance tool.
Version 2 era: The project adopted a Go API and CLI with a Vue.js web client and container distribution.
2024: The official release history records the v2.11 line with REST API scan-option support.

Related projects

External services such as Numverify and Google Custom Search can enrich scans when users supply credentials.
The REST API and Go module expose PhoneInfoga's scanning workflow to other applications.

Before unattended agent use, check whether the tool reads plaintext credentials, writes remote state, publishes artifacts, or shells out to plugins.
