## Project history and usage

sn0int is a semi-automatic OSINT framework and package manager for security professionals and bug hunters.

### Project history

The project began publicly in October 2018, with v0.1.0 released the same day the official GitHub repository was created. Its documentation says it was built to gather intelligence about a target or about yourself by processing public information into a unified investigation format.

### Adoption history

The official documentation recommends operating-system packages when available and lists installation paths for Arch, macOS Homebrew, Debian/Ubuntu/Kali, Alpine, OpenBSD, Gentoo, NixOS, Docker, and Windows source builds. The supplied metadata also shows Homebrew, apk, pacman, and Nix packaging.

### How it is used

sn0int users install modules, scope entities, run modules, inspect results, and can publish modules to the sn0int registry. Credentials are handled through sn0int's keyring abstraction rather than hardcoded in scripts.

### Why package nerds care

sn0int is notable because it combines an OSINT workflow tool, a module sandbox, a registry, and package-manager distribution across several Unix-like ecosystems.

### Timeline

- 2018: Official GitHub repository created.
- 2018: v0.1.0 published on GitHub releases.
- 2020: Stable documentation copyright window reaches 2020.
- 2026: Supplied metadata lists Homebrew, apk, pacman, and Nix packages.
