Making open-source intelligence more accessible.
Holehe is a modern OSINT tool for discovering publicly available digital signals associated with an email, username, phone number, or IP address.
Our mission
Holehe OSINT is a modern, open-source intelligence platform that makes it easy to investigate digital footprints across hundreds of public platforms. We believe OSINT should be fast, transparent, and respectful of privacy. Whether you are a security researcher, journalist, or simply checking your own online presence, our tools put public information at your fingertips without storing your queries.
What we believe
OSINT should be useful, understandable, and responsible.
Accessible intelligence
OSINT tools should be easier to understand and use. You should not need advanced command-line skills to investigate public digital footprints.
Transparency
Users should understand where information comes from. We only surface data from public sources and never claim to access private records.
Responsible research
Intelligence tools should be used responsibly. Public information still has context, limits, and real-world consequences.

Use intelligence responsibly
Public information should be used with context, care and respect. Before you act on anything you find, verify it through additional sources and make sure your use is lawful.
