Scout OSINT console

Classic OSINT lookups a connected Scout runs from the data it already captured — a BSSID, its own IP, an aircraft hex, a position. Each one calls a free API. On the device there are no CORS limits; in a browser some calls are blocked, so every tool here also has a Demo with a real saved response. Set your WiGLE key in Settings for BSSID history.

What is the MaxIntel Scout OSINT console?

The Scout OSINT console is the browser interface for MaxIntel Scout — a passive RF/OSINT handheld built on the Waveshare ESP32-S3-Touch-LCD-1.54 and part of maxintel.org. It runs classic OSINT lookups on data a connected Scout already captured — a Wi-Fi BSSID, the device’s own IP, an aircraft ICAO hex, or a GPS position — by calling free, mostly keyless APIs (beacondb, ip-api, Shodan InternetDB, hexdb.io, WiGLE and others). Every lookup is passive: it enriches what the device already observed or queries public registries, and never actively scans another network. In a browser some cross-origin calls are blocked, so each tool also ships a Demo backed by a real saved response.

All lookups are passive: they enrich data the device already observed or its own context, or query public registries — no active scanning of other people’s networks. Keyless APIs: beacondb, ip‑api, Shodan InternetDB, hexdb.io, sunrise‑sunset, Nominatim, Cloudflare DoH, crt.sh, Tor DNSEL, Team Cymru. WiGLE needs your free key. These mirror MaxIntel’s IP triage, ICAO decoder and connection fingerprint tools.
