Shadowbroker Osint Platform

What This Skill Does

The Shadowbroker OSINT Platform is an advanced, self-hosted geospatial intelligence dashboard designed to aggregate and visualize real-time data from multiple domains on a unified interactive map. By leveraging Next.js for the frontend and a FastAPI-powered Python backend, this skill transforms disparate data sources—such as ADS-B aircraft telemetry, AIS maritime tracking, satellite TLE data, USGS earthquake sensors, and geopolitical conflict events—into a coherent dark-ops style interface. It acts as a middleware layer that polls and caches public APIs, providing a streamlined way to track global movements and environmental incidents without needing an external database, as it utilizes efficient on-disk and in-memory caching mechanisms.

Installation

To deploy the Shadowbroker OSINT Platform using the OpenClaw agent, execute the installation command: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/adisinghstudent/shadowbroker-osint-platform.

Ensure you have Docker Compose or Podman installed on your system. Once installed, navigate to the project directory and run the initialization script: ./compose.sh up -d. This will pull the necessary container images and start the services at http://localhost:3000. For advanced users, Helm charts are provided for Kubernetes deployments in the ./helm/chart directory. Remember to configure your environment variables in a .env file, specifically including your API keys for AIS and NASA FIRMS to enable full functional coverage for maritime and fire tracking layers.

Use Cases

This skill is ideal for researchers, journalists, and enthusiasts who need to monitor global events in real-time. Use cases include tracking maritime cargo movement to identify supply chain bottlenecks, monitoring aircraft flight paths for logistics analysis, tracking satellite passes, and visualizing the proximity of natural disasters like wildfires or earthquakes to specific points of interest. It is an essential tool for situational awareness and OSINT investigations where spatial correlation of multi-domain data is critical.

Example Prompts

1. "Shadowbroker, can you set up the dashboard and show me active private jet traffic over the Atlantic?"
2. "Add a new data layer to the Shadowbroker map that specifically displays recent earthquake activity from USGS."
3. "Configure my Shadowbroker backend to include the API credentials for my AIS vessel stream and refresh the map."

Tips & Limitations

The Shadowbroker platform relies on public APIs which may have rate limits; ensure your API keys are valid to prevent feed interruptions. Because the platform caches data locally, memory usage can grow depending on the number of data layers enabled. It is recommended to run this in an environment with consistent internet connectivity to ensure the real-time feeds remain accurate. Always keep the underlying containers updated using the provided shell scripts to benefit from new source integrations and performance optimizations.
