Reddit OSINT Suite
Last updated:
Five-in-one Reddit account intelligence. Enter any public username to fetch their complete history via Reddit's JSON endpoints — bot detection, OPSEC audit (PII leak scanning), persona reconstruction (timezone, interests, profession), deep intel (trophies, karma breakdown, linked socials, awarded content, moderated subs), and sockpuppet correlation. API requests are made from your browser, so rate limits apply to you, not to MaxIntel — it works for everyone.
Drag this to your bookmarks bar:
🤖 Reddit OSINTreddit.com/user/username)The bookmarklet runs on reddit.com, so JSON requests come from your browser at Reddit's domain — no CORS issues, no API keys. Reddit rate-limits your IP, not MaxIntel's.
Install the bookmarklet, visit a Reddit profile, and click it to analyze.
Reddit OSINT Suite — Comprehensive Account Intelligence
Reddit users leave extensive behavioral trails in their comment and posting history. The Reddit OSINT Suite uses a bookmarklet that runs on reddit.com itself, fetching data from Reddit's JSON endpoints as same-origin requests. Because the requests originate from the user's browser on Reddit's domain, there are no CORS restrictions and rate limits apply to each individual visitor — not to MaxIntel. The tool performs five distinct analyses that mirror the capabilities of our Python desktop tools, now accessible entirely in the browser.
Bot Detection
Analyzes posting regularity, sleep gaps, karma velocity, comment repetitiveness, and timing patterns to generate a 0-100 bot probability score. Human accounts show irregular posting with clear sleep periods; bot accounts often post at machine-like intervals with minimal rest.
OPSEC Audit
Scans all captured comment text for personally identifiable information: email addresses, phone numbers, location mentions (cities, states, countries), workplace references ("I work at..."), age mentions, and real names. Generates an exposure score from 0-100.
Persona Reconstruction
Infers timezone from posting hour distribution, identifies profession from career-related subreddits, maps geographic location from regional subreddits, catalogs interests from subreddit participation, and analyzes writing style (vocabulary richness, avg length, tone).
Sockpuppet Correlation
Save multiple user scans and compare them for sockpuppet indicators: subreddit overlap percentage, posting time correlation, vocabulary similarity, and co-activity in the same threads. High overlap across multiple dimensions suggests coordinated or same-person accounts.
- Same-Origin JSON Fetch
- The bookmarklet runs on reddit.com, so fetch() calls to Reddit's .json endpoints are same-origin — no CORS blocks, no API key. Reddit rate-limits each user's IP individually, so MaxIntel never hits any limits.
- k-Anonymity
- The OPSEC scanner uses local pattern matching — no PII is ever transmitted. All regex processing happens in your browser.
🤖 Reddit OSINT Suite — FAQ
How much data does the tool fetch?
The bookmarklet paginates through up to 10 pages of Reddit's JSON endpoints (up to 1,000 comments and 1,000 posts, 100 per page). It shows a progress overlay on the Reddit page while fetching. More data means more accurate analysis, especially for bot detection and persona reconstruction.
Does this require an API key or authentication?
No. The bookmarklet runs on reddit.com and uses fetch() to hit Reddit's .json endpoints as same-origin requests. No API key, no OAuth, no account needed. Since requests come from your browser on Reddit's domain, rate limits apply to your IP — not MaxIntel's. Every visitor gets their own allocation.
How accurate is the bot detection?
With 50+ comments captured, accuracy is good for identifying obvious bots (regularity, no sleep gaps). Sophisticated bots that mimic human patterns are harder to detect. The score should be treated as an indicator, not a verdict. Scores below 30 suggest human, above 70 suggest bot, and 30-70 is ambiguous.
Can saved sockpuppet data be shared between browsers?
Saved user scans are stored in localStorage, so they persist in the same browser. To compare across browsers or share with colleagues, use the Export JSON button and import on the other machine.
What are the rate limits?
Reddit allows roughly 60 requests per minute from unauthenticated clients. A full analysis uses about 12 requests (user profile + paginated comments + paginated posts), so you can analyze approximately 5 users per minute. If you hit a rate limit, the tool will show a warning and you can retry after a short wait.
