Max Intel Self-Hosted Tools — Frequently Asked Questions
What are self-hosted OSINT tools?
Self-hosted tools are open-source APIs and services you deploy on your own infrastructure. This gives you full control over data, no rate limits, and privacy since queries never leave your network.
What do I need to self-host these tools?
Most tools require Node.js or Python, a server (even a VPS works), and basic command-line familiarity. Docker images are available for easier deployment.
Are there rate limits on self-hosted tools?
When self-hosted, you control the rate limits. However, upstream data sources (like WHOIS servers or GeoIP databases) may still have their own limits.
