Nine web instruments and six browser extensions built by Signal & Shadow for open-source investigations. Each tool addresses a specific task in the investigative workflow: source verification, geolocation, chronolocation, archival recovery, and chain-of-custody evidence handling.
Deploy when you need to know which tool to use. Identifies the right instrument for any entity type, domain, or jurisdiction. Includes third-party tools verified by Signal & Shadow.
Deploy when identifying jurisdiction-specific registries or institutional sources. Primary starting point for any country-level investigation.
Deploy when constructing precise search queries. Compose Google, Bing, or DDG dork operators without memorising syntax. Run directly from the extension against any engine.
Deploy when assessing source reliability before it enters the case record. NATO Admiralty Code A-F grading. Produces a citable reliability score for any source.
Deploy when you have a named subject and need a structured case record. Paste raw source, work a seven-module sequence, output a complete dossier to SIG-STD-002 evidentiary standard.
Deploy when verifying a URL, recovering deleted content, or building an archival trail. 31 archives grouped by intent. Every pivot logged with a session ID for the case record.
Deploy when pivoting from a named entity. Right-click any email, IP, wallet, or handle to open the correct investigation tool. Every action timestamped and logged.
Deploy when tracing a wallet, company, vessel, or sanctioned name. Pivots across public databases simultaneously. Session logged with a unique ID. Full trail exportable for the case file.
Deploy when a page holds structured data you need in your case record. Sanctions lists, company registries, court filings, shipping databases. Select rows, export to CSV.
Deploy when authenticating the capture time of video or imagery. Derives date and time from shadow length and sun angle without relying on metadata.
Deploy when a location claim needs independent verification. Cross-reference visual landmarks against satellite imagery. Produces a signed coordinate pair with confidence rating for the case file.
Deploy when establishing evidence integrity at point of capture. Generates SHA-256, MD5, or SHA-1 fingerprints. Creates an auditable chain of custody hash for any file.
Deploy when verifying an image on any page. Right-click to reverse search, inspect EXIF, or generate a hash without leaving the page. No clipboard, no tab switching.
Deploy when assessing the integrity of a publication or outlet under investigation. Scores across 27 MIP criteria covering source, methodology, and editorial independence.
Deploy when investigating a domain. RDAP, Cloudflare DoH, Wayback, and CT logs in parallel. Currently in Chrome Web Store review. Available on clearance.
