That explains the lowest comment to star ratio I have ever noticed.

I'm actually surprised no one built this before this is exactly what soc analyst would need.
buzzergfxkjkl•9mo ago
Really great idea, happy to see this out there!

Note that a Virustotal API key is required... so it doesn't seem very privacy friendly.

I used one of the temp mail addresses. No phone number (or any other verifiable) information required. Even then, I don’t know if this is really a huge problem given the nature of this tool.

This looks like a really cool little CLI script, and I could see myself using it as a regular CLI tool instead of whois and Googling. It looks really good, it gathers a lot of extra info, and uses a bunch of highly regarded external sources like virustotal, shodan, graynoise and more.

Only criticism is that it does use or need a bunch of accounts and API keys which probably makes the setup a bit tedious: https://github.com/pirxthepilot/wtfis?tab=readme-ov-file#dat... obviously a necessary evil though given what the tool is doing.

Off topic, in case this needs a backronym with no profanity, sharing some ideas; first one is my favorite:

- What's That Funny Internet Site?

- Web Threat Forensic Inspection Service

- Warden That Flags Internet Suspicion
