X-osint
Open source OSINT tool for gathering data on emails, phones, and IPs
X-osint is an open source intelligence framework designed to collect and analyze publicly available information from multiple sources. It focuses on gathering useful and credible data about entities such as phone numbers, email addresses, and IP addresses using a range of automated OSINT techniques. It provides investigators and researchers with a centralized interface for running information-gathering tasks that would normally require multiple separate tools. X-osint can also perform domain-related reconnaissance activities such as subdomain enumeration, DNS lookups, and host discovery to help identify infrastructure associated with a target. In addition to network and domain intelligence, it includes features for extracting metadata from files or images and analyzing text content to uncover hidden details. X-osint is written primarily in Python and is designed to run in terminal environments, particularly on Linux systems and Termux setups. -

IGHack
Hack Instagram From Termux With Help of Tor
IGHack is a Bash-based Termux security tool built around password-strength testing for Instagram accounts through automated guessing. It uses password lists to attempt authentication and includes both predefined and user-selected list modes. The project incorporates Tor to route network traffic during its testing workflow. It is designed to run on rooted and non-rooted Android devices through Termux. A menu-driven interface provides attack modes, project information, updates, and exit controls. Because the software performs credential-guessing attacks against online accounts, legitimate use should be limited to accounts the tester owns or has explicit authorization to assess. -

Google Authenticator Android
Open source fork of the Google Authenticator Android app
Google Authenticator for Android is the open-source two-factor authentication app that generates time-based (TOTP) and counter-based (HOTP) one-time codes entirely on the device. It’s designed to be simple, offline, and standards-compliant, so any service that supports OATH OTP can interoperate with it. The app streamlines enrollment via QR codes or manual key entry, then displays rotating numeric codes with clear account labels to reduce mistakes during login. Because secrets are stored on the device and codes are computed locally, it works even without a data connection and avoids server-side dependencies. The UI focuses on clarity and safety cues—timers, account naming, and basic management—to make 2FA adoption accessible to non-experts. For developers, the project doubles as a reference implementation of OTP enrollment, storage, and code generation on Android. -

Hypatia
A realtime malware scanner
Hypatia is a free and open-source malware scanner for Android that aims to provide on-device, real-time scanning with minimal battery and resource impact using signature-based detection inspired by ClamAV style databases. Designed as an Android app, it scans user filesystems and installed applications either on demand or in real time when files are written or renamed, operating completely offline aside from occasional signature database downloads. The project is offered under an AGPL-3.0 license and is archived in its original repository, reflecting a historical effort to create a community-reviewable FOSS security tool for Android devices. Hypatia’s design targets performance and efficiency, keeping memory usage modest and enabling users to control which signature sets are active. Its real-time file observation uses multi-threaded scanning to leverage device CPU resources while striving for a negligible user experience impact. -
