WhatsApp Beacon is an open source OSINT tool designed to monitor and analyze the online activity status of WhatsApp users through WhatsApp Web. It uses Selenium automation to interact with the web interface and detect when a target account goes online or offline. By continuously monitoring these changes, WhatsApp Beacon records connectivity patterns and builds a historical dataset of activity sessions. The collected information is stored in logs and a local database, allowing users to review behavioral patterns over time. In addition, the project supports exporting collected data to spreadsheet formats for further analysis or reporting. WhatsApp Beacon is designed to run across multiple operating systems and can operate in the background using headless browser automation. It is intended for educational and research purposes related to open-source intelligence (OSINT) and digital investigation.
