Frequently asked questions

Do I need to install anything for these 11 tools?

Most entries here are GitHub projects — clone the repository and follow the README's install steps (pip, npm, go or cargo). A Kali Linux VM gives you many of them pre-installed.

Is it legal to use these resources?

Public-record lookups and defensive/research use are generally lawful, but rules vary by country and tool. Only test systems you own or have written authorization to test, respect each site's terms of service, and never use personal data unlawfully.

Where should a beginner start in this category?

Start with the web-based tools at the top of the list — they need no setup. Read each card's “How to use it” panel, run one real query, and only then move to installable tools.
