Maigret is a powerful OSINT tool that collects detailed dossiers on individuals by username across over 3000 sites without needing API keys. It supports searches on Tor and I2P sites, recursive searches by new usernames, and creates reports in HTML, PDF, and Xmind8 formats. Maigret can be installed via pip, Docker, or run from a cloned repository and requires Python 3.10 or higher. It includes advanced features like censorship and captcha detection and retries for requests.
