Map an investigation as a graph of people, accounts and links

An open-source tool for open-source intelligence work: you build up an investigation as a visual graph, adding entities and the relationships between them, and extending it with your own collectors as you go.

It runs entirely on infrastructure you control — Docker on your machine, or the same setup on a server for a team, where the interface proxies the internal calls so clients need no extra configuration. The project describes itself as in early development, aimed at ethical investigation, transparency and verification, and it asks users to read its ethics document first.

Can I use this?

Runs in Docker on your computer

You'll need Docker, and an accepted reason to be investigating · Setup needed

Worth knowing The subject of an investigation like this is usually a person, which makes this a privacy and data-protection question before it is a technical one; the project says so itself and publishes an ethics document it asks you to read. Local-only storage protects your investigation, not the people in it. It is in early development, so expect gaps and changes. Apache 2.0. BuildTube has not run or verified this software.
