Co11ateral writes about ShadowBroker, an open-source OSINT dashboard that aggregates live public intelligence feeds—aircraft and maritime tracking, satellite orbits, conflict reporting, GPS jamming, and more—into a single interactive map running locally via Docker. Built with Next.js, MapLibre GL, and a Python/FastAPI backend, it consolidates what would otherwise require juggling dozens of tabs into one prioritized view accessible at localhost:3000.
- Optional API keys enhance data; a language model agent can be attached to find correlations across feeds
- Telegram-sourced intelligence appears as red clusters on the map, often with attached media
- NASA VIIRS Nightlight and daily satellite captures are available as toggleable layers
- Antennas and Metastatic nodes are included, with the ability to tune in or send a message
- The project has been actively maintained for about six months with ongoing feature additions
