Site and infrastructure
Hosting, database, security, email, and automated data-feed costs are covered.
Voluntary support
CSINT Research is an independent, one-person project.
I build the site, articles, community area, and free research tools on my own. Support is optional. Using the site and joining the community will remain free. Contributions help cover upkeep, infrastructure, and new OSINT tools.
You can use every public page without supporting the project.
Membership is free and separate from financial support.
Your card details never reach CSINT and are not stored here.
What are you supporting?
Contributions go directly into keeping the project useful.
The priority is reliable services and research tools that people can actually use.
Sources and research
Broken links are repaired, public sources are reviewed, and new research articles are prepared.
Free OSINT and CTI tools
File inspection, threat tracking, verification, and reporting tools are developed.
Research infrastructure
Better search, source comparison, and evidence-backed result workflows are built.
Roadmap
Solid infrastructure first, then a dedicated research model.
I do not publish artificial deadlines or completion percentages. Each stage depends on budget, security, and legally usable datasets.
- Now
Site, community, and tool upkeep
I am keeping live services reliable, fixing issues, and making the current tools easier to use.
- Next
Research workflows
I plan to build workflows that compare multiple sources, show each finding with its source, and prepare report drafts.
- When funding allows
My own OSINT research assistant
The first step is an assistant running on my own infrastructure. With suitable data, licensing, and hardware, I will explore a small purpose-built model and fine-tuning.
What will the model do?
The goal is not a system that makes decisions for researchers. It will be an assistant for the time-consuming parts of open-source research.
- Extract relevant traces from documents and public sources
- Compare the same claim across different sources
- Prepare a short research summary with source links
A person will review every result. It will not be built for unauthorized tracking, personal-data collection, targeting, or definitive criminal accusations.
Ways to help
Financial support is not the only option.

Support does not buy private data, closed access, priority in source listings, or influence over research findings. Findings and warnings follow the same rules for everyone.
Security reports
Found a vulnerability, broken link, or unsafe instruction?
Use email for sensitive matters. Telegram is fine for simple link and page issues.
