What is Maigret

Maigret is an open‑source OSINT tool written in Python that enumerates the websites on which a given username is registered.

Zero API requirement : works out‑of‑the‑box without API keys.

Automatic information extraction : pulls email, links and other social accounts from profile pages.

Recursive search : uses discovered usernames/IDs to expand the search scope.

Tag filtering : filter by site type (social, dating, video, etc.) or country.

Tor/I2P support : routes requests through Tor to hide the real IP.

Web UI : graphical interface for visualizing relationship graphs.

AI analysis mode : generates a brief report summary using an OpenAI‑compatible API.
