Osintgram4j: OSINT for Instagram

Remember, how the beloved Osintgram project by Datalux fell apart due to Instagram's API changes and lack of updates? Well, you can stop worrying. Osintgram4j aims to fix the issues, and make the original Project look like it was never broken. It's a complete rewrite in Java, bringing back stability, along with new features.

Note: This project is still under development, with the original code being analyzed, along with researches being made. Full functionality is not guaranteed at this stage.

Disclaimer & Privacy Policy

Osintgram4j, like any software, is intended for ethical and legal use only. Me and other developers do not support unethical activities like hacking or other malicious actions. Always follow relevant laws and Instagram's Terms of Service.

By using Osintgram4j, you acknowledge:

  • Responsibility: You are accountable for your own actions.
  • Ethical Use: Never misuse this tool or violate Instagram's policies.
  • No Liability: We, the developers, are not liable for consequences arising from misuse.

With Privacy Policy in mind, you acknowledge:

  • Logging: Your actions are logged locally that can be used for debugging.
  • No Server Uploads: No data is being sent to any server without any explicit permission
  • Sensitivity: Some sensitive information is included, such as the commands that you type (e.g. usernames) in the interactive Shell

See the full Privacy Policy to review. Don't forget, use Osintgram4j responsibly, respect privacy of others, and always act ethically.

Build Process

Prepare a Linux environment, with either one of these options:

  • Host (main OS / Dual Boot)
  • VM (Virtual Machine)
  • Cloud Shell / Servers (Google Cloud, Linode)
  • Containers (Docker)
  • WSL (Windows-only)

This project is mainly focused and optimized for the Linux platform. Simple setup with the Shell scripts:

  1. Download dependencies:
  • Debian/Ubuntu based: sudo apt install build-essential cmake tar wget
  • Arch/Manjaro based: sudo pacman -Sy base-devel cmake tar wget
  1. Clone the repo: git clone https://github.com/BeChris100/osintgram4j
  2. Set permissions: chmod +x setup.sh build.sh
  3. Set up environment: ./setup.sh --force-download
  4. Build: ./build.sh

The --force-download is an optional parameter. If given, it will always download the JDK and the libraries, no matter its state. Otherwise, it will try to detect JDK 21, and get the latest org.json and org.apache:commons-cli library.

Client Mods

Osintgram4j introduces a Modding API, which is something that I like. Having the ability to modify the client directly instead of creating separate forks for each modification is better than handling each fork, which could eventually make that fork outdated from its original source. Allowing to customize and extend is functionality is something anyone would want.

As always, prioritize privacy and security, along with downloading mods from trusted sources.
