Goal

Deeply research infrastructure-focused OSINT and asset-discovery tooling, starting with OWASP Amass and comparable discovery techniques, and extract the capability model StarIntel needs.

Architecture rule

Treat this as an Infrastructure Domain Server capability cluster. Do not duplicate DNS, certificate, ASN, WHOIS, subdomain, service, or relationship logic inside Identity or other domains.

Required feature enumeration

For Amass and any directly comparable tool retained in scope, verify:

  • passive OSINT source collection
  • active enumeration modes
  • DNS resolution and brute-force/mutation behavior
  • subdomain discovery
  • certificate-transparency discovery
  • ASN / netblock / IP relationship discovery
  • graph-based asset relationships
  • recursive discovery and pivot rules
  • source attribution
  • confidence/validation of discovered assets
  • asset database/model
  • event/observation history
  • incremental runs and change detection
  • configuration and source credentials
  • rate limiting/concurrency
  • scope controls and exclusion rules
  • output/export formats
  • integration boundaries

StarIntel target

Research a coherent Infrastructure Domain Server with capability families such as discovery, resolution, topology/correlation, and change observation rather than provider-specific actors.

Prefer a shared typed asset/observation model with provenance preserved per discovery source.

Implementation preference

StarLang first; extend StarLang where required; Common Lisp next; Python only as a last resort.

Output gate

Stage findings in roam/internal/OSINT-TOOLS-LEDGER.org and this issue only until explicit instruction to add ARARD/ARADR research.
