## What it is

Maigret collects a dossier on a person by searching a single username across 3,000+ websites and compiling the findings into structured reports. It scrapes publicly available profile data without requiring API keys and generates output in HTML, PDF, or JSON formats — including an interactive relationship graph that maps discovered accounts and their connections. Named after Georges Simenon's fictional detective, it's one of the most comprehensive open-source OSINT tools available.

Advanced features include recursive username discovery (identifying alternate usernames from found profiles), AI-assisted summary generation, Tor/I2P proxy support for anonymized research, and Cloudflare bypass. It's available as a CLI tool, Python library, Docker container, or web application.

<Tip>
  **Use this when** you need to map someone's online presence for OSINT research, identity verification, security auditing, or investigating impersonation — without needing accounts or API access on each platform.
