| description | Use the OpenCROW OSINT stack for username enumeration, archive lookup, and public search workflows. Use when Codex needs `sherlock`, `waybackpy`, `shodan`, or when a full install tracks manual theHarvester setup. |
OpenCROW OSINT Toolbox
Use this skill for challenges that depend on public-source reconnaissance rather than direct target exploitation. It covers username hunting with sherlock, historical site lookups with waybackpy, and Shodan-backed discovery with the shodan CLI and Python client.
Quick Start
Start the MCP server from the installed CLI:
opencrow-osint-mcp
Verify the mapped stack:
python ~/.codex/skills/opencrow-osint-toolbox/scripts/verify_toolkit.py
Workflow
- Use
sherlock for username reuse checks across public services.
- Use
waybackpy when the clue may exist in an archived site snapshot.
- Use
shodan when the problem involves public internet exposure, banners, or service fingerprints.
- If a full profile was installed, treat theHarvester as a manual follow-up tool from the installer summary.
- Prefer the MCP server operations first:
toolbox_info, toolbox_verify, toolbox_capabilities, osint_username_lookup, osint_archive_lookup, and osint_shodan_lookup.
