The magazine computerwoche.de published a list of handy Open Source Intelligence Tools, incl.:

  • Maltego – comprehensive tool for graphical link analyses that offers real-time data mining and information gathering, as well as the representation of this information on a node-based graph, making patterns and multiple order connections between said information easily identifiable
  • Recon-ng – gathering tool aimed at reducing the time spent harvesting information from open sources
  • theHarvester – emails, subdomains and names Harvester
  • Shodan – world’s first search engine for Internet-connected devices
  • Metagoofil – metadata harvester
  • searchcode – search 75 billion lines of code from 40 million projects
  • SpiderFoot – automates OSINT so one can find what matters, faster
  • Babel X – discover and decipher geographically diverse, multilingual data into actionable insights in real time, babel street’s platform helps interpret real-time data, so one can make clear, decisive decisions that impact any mission
  • Mitaka – browser extension for OSINT search
  • BuiltWith – search tech stack of specific websites
  • Wappalyzer – find the technology stack of any website
  • DarkSearch.io – self-declared “first real” “dark web” “search engine” (yet, no longer publicly available)
  • Grep.app – tool for searches across git repos

The list seems compiled from pcwdld.com, where more detailed descriptions of each tool can be found.

Furthermore, the OSINT Framework helps gathering information from free tools or resources by providing a very good overview of available applications, platforms, methods etc.

MindProbe is a server to host online experiments. This server runs the open-source software JATOS, which is compatible with several free software packages for developing online experiments, including OpenSesame/ OSWeb, jsPsych, and Lab.JS. MindProbe is sponsored by ESCOP, with Journal of Cognition as their official journal. MindProbe is free: mindprobe.eu.

This is a step-by-step manual to configure a Limesurvey poll to show X questions from a (random) selection of Y question groups.

The proof of concept can be accessed here: https://survey.toolsforresearch.com/index.php/345678. The compliation was borrowed from Tony Partner:
https://www.limesurvey.org/forum/can-i-do-this-with-limesurvey/107889-randomly-select-question-groups#145950

The full manual can be found here: https://toolsforresearch.com/limesurvey-randomly-show-x-out-of-y-question-groups and an excerpt of it is copied below.

1) The slider to choose the number of groups (variable x)

Create a ‘Multiple numerical input’ question with Qcode ‘gcount’. The maximum should match the number of random groups within randomization group (‘y’).

Add a subquestion ‘1’. The variable ‘x’ will be stored in ‘gcount_1’.

2) Random groups

Create the random groups: ‘randGroups1’ in randomization group.

3) Equation in each random group

Every random group should start with a hidden question of the equation type.

The value of the equation is the sum of the RelevanceStatuses for all the other groups in the same Randomization group.

4) Questions within a random question group

The trick is that every (visible) question within each random group must have a relevance equation that checks if the equation of the current random group is less than gcount_1 (the ‘x’ variable). The relevance equation is entered in the general options of each question.
