Bellingcat investigation toolkit
What it is
Bellingcat’s Online Open Source Investigation Toolkit is the GitHub home of Online Investigation Toolkit 2.0: a curated, living collection of OSINT tools and references. Markdown for each tool is managed on GitBook and synced to the repository; automated workflows regenerate lists and pages. The public book is at bellingcat.gitbook.io/toolkit.
This skill does not mirror the full tool list—entries, URLs, and categories change. Prefer live GitBook or GitHub src / generated pages when recommending a specific tool.
When to use this skill
- Broaden OSINT beyond on-chain work: maps, imagery, social, archives, and other categories covered in the toolkit.
- Answer “what tool exists for X?” by pointing to the catalog and primary tool documentation, not by inventing tool names.
- Pair with crypto-investigation-compliance and on-chain-investigator-agent for ethical workflow; chain tracing remains in the other blockint-skills entries.
How agents should apply it
- Cite the toolkit as a directory, not an endorsement of every listed tool’s current safety or terms of service.
- Verify links and capabilities on the official page before prescribing steps (API keys, rate limits, jurisdiction).
- Separate fact (a tool exists) from advice (whether a use case is lawful for the user).

evm-solidity-defi-triage-agent
Guides EVM Solidity DeFi triage from public verified source or bytecode—access control, proxies, oracle usage, reentrancy and CEI patterns, DEX/router integrations, and common vulnerability classes. Use when the user asks for Ethereum or L2 smart contract security review, Solidity audit triage, OpenZeppelin proxy risks, or EVM-specific DeFi patterns—not for live exploits or private keys.
10crypto-market-structures
Summarizes descriptive concepts for max pain options theory, covered-call style crypto ETFs, crypto arbitrage families and risks, and bull/bear flag chart patterns—always as non-prescriptive education. Use when the user asks about max pain, premium income ETFs, arbitrage, funding rates, flash loans, or bull/bear flags in crypto trading context.
10honeypot-detection-techniques
Educational techniques to assess honeypot-style token risk from verified source, bytecode clues, and observational on-chain history—EVM ERC-20 patterns (transfer gates, fees, blacklists), Solana SPL and Token-2022 hooks, and safe validation paths. Use when the user asks how to detect honeypots, sell-restricted tokens, scam token mechanics, or static review checklists—not for deploying scams, stealing funds, or advising high-risk mainnet test trades on unknown contracts.
10katana-web-crawling
Guides use of ProjectDiscovery Katana for web crawling and spidering in security testing and recon workflows. Covers installation, standard vs headless mode, scope and rate limits, JSONL output, and piping from httpx or URL lists. Use when the user mentions Katana, projectdiscovery/katana, web crawling, spidering, endpoint discovery, attack surface mapping, or chaining crawlers in automation pipelines.
10solana-defi-vulnerability-analyst-agent
Guides discovery and documentation of Solana DeFi protocol risks from public code and chain state—Anchor/native programs, PDAs, CPIs, oracles, pools, SPL mechanics, and historical tx reconstruction. Use when the user asks for Solana program security review, DeFi vulnerability triage, PDA or CPI safety, oracle or liquidity-pool risk, launchpad/bonding-curve issues, or evidence-backed severity findings without exploits or private keys.
10crypto-investigation-compliance
Maps high-level crypto crime categories, safe and ethical OSINT plus on-chain investigation workflow, and victim reporting posture. Use when the user asks about scam types, pig butchering, rug pulls, tracing stolen funds ethically, compliance-adjacent investigation, or how to document cases for authorities.
