Exploratores Toolkit Logo

TEST ME

Exploratores is a modular and responsive OSINT toolkit designed to support investigative workflows: curated search tools for people, domains, images, social platforms and more, plus built-in utilities such as the Redactor (browser-side PII removal), multi-country IBAN analysis and an embedded CyberChef.

Version 3.4.1 realigns the documentation with the codebase (FAQ, Customise, Version History), fixes a dead external link and unifies the layout of the help pages. See the full version history for previous releases.

Key Features

  • Fully responsive layout built with semantic HTML5.
  • No server or backend dependencies required.
  • Centralised JavaScript architecture.
  • Modular pages with scoped focus (Names, Phones, Domains, IBAN, etc.).
  • Multi-country IBAN verifier with offline bank name resolution for 11 countries.
  • Redactor: browser-side PII removal and restoration with numbered placeholders, exportable Redaction Map, CSV support and user-defined custom patterns — designed for safely submitting case text to external AI models.
  • Privacy by design: the Redactor, the IBAN tool and CyberChef run entirely in your browser — no data ever leaves your machine.
  • Embedded CyberChef (v11.2.0) for local data conversion, decoding and analysis.
