What it is
Omertà is an investigative identity research tool built for The OSINT Vault. It searches supported public sources and organizes the publicly available information that comes back for identity-related inputs. It is a research instrument: it surfaces leads and shows exactly where each one came from.
What you can search
Six input modes, all live: Username, Name (add a city and state to sharpen US public-record searches), Phone, Email, Domain, and IP Address. Bulk mode runs up to 50 queries, one per line. The Archive Search toggle, available for username searches, adds a second pass over historical captures after the live scan finishes.
How it works
When you run a search, this page opens a live connection to the Omertà backend. The backend runs checks against supported sources in parallel: public APIs, profile and platform endpoints, DNS and certificate transparency records, breach and identity services (where access keys are configured), and public-record lookups. Each source answers independently and results stream in as they arrive, with response times recorded per source. Sources that cannot be checked programmatically are not faked: they are listed under Manual Review with a link so you can check them yourself. Sources that are blocked, rate-limited, or time out are disclosed as unresolved, never counted as negatives. The archive pass queries the Wayback Machine separately and is labeled as historical data.
What the results mean
Confirmed: the source returned a positive match for this exact query. A match shows the identifier exists on that source; it does not prove who controls it. High Confidence: a strong signal that stops short of a confirmed match. Intelligence: supporting context such as address detail or record metadata. Partial Signal: a real signal that is not enough to call either way. Manual Review: a directory or source you must check yourself. Unresolved: sources that could not be checked this run, listed honestly instead of being treated as clean.
A username appearing on several platforms does not establish that one person controls all of those accounts. A search that returns nothing does not prove the identity has no public footprint.
How to use it
Treat every result as a lead that requires verification and correlation before it supports a conclusion. Emails, phones, handles, and relatives found in results can be pivoted into new searches. Dossiers can be exported as PDF, JSON, or CSV. The watchlist stores only the targets you explicitly add yourself.
Limitations
Coverage depends on source availability, public accessibility, request restrictions, rate limits, site changes, and which access keys are configured on the backend at the time of the search. Omertà does not search the entire internet, does not guarantee identity matches, and cannot promise access to platforms that restrict automated reading. Searches are not logged or tied to an account; the only data stored is the watchlist entries you create.
Who made it
Omertà was developed for The OSINT Vault by Nicole Hurey. It is not a third-party aggregation service and was not built by an outside provider.
