Intrigue Core : Discover Your Attack Surface

Intrigue Core is a framework for external attack surface discovery and automated OSINT. There are a number of use cases:

  • Application and Infrastructure (Asset) Discovery
  • Security Research and Vulnerability Discovery
  • Malware Campaign Research & Indicator Enrichment
  • Exploratory OSINT Research

Developers

To get started setting up a development environment, follow the instructions below!

Setting up a development environment

Follow the appropriate setup guide:

Now that you have a working environment, browse to the web interface.

Using the web interface

To use the web interface, browse to http://127.0.0.1:7777. Once you’re able to connect, you can follow the instructions here: http://core.intrigue.io/up-and-running/

Configuring the system

Many tasks work via external APIs and thus require configuration of keys. To set them up, browse to the “Configure” tab and click on the name of the module. You will be taken to the relevant signup page where you can provision an API key.

These keys are ultimately stored in the file: config/config.json.

The API

Intrigue-core is built API-first, allowing all functions in the UI to be easily automated. The following methods for automation are provided.

API usage via core-cli

A command line utility has been added for convenience, core-cli.

List all available tasks:

$ bundle exec ./core-cli.rb list

Start a task:

## core-cli.rb start [Project Name] [Task] [Type#Entity] [Depth] [Option1=Value1#…#…] [Handlers] [Strategy Name] [Auto Enrich]
$ bundle exec ./core-cli.rb start new_project create_entity DnsRecord#intrigue.io 3
Got entity: {“type”=>”DnsRecord”, “name”=>”intrigue.io”, “details”=>{“name”=>”intrigue.io”}}
Task Result: {“result_id”:66103}

API usage via curl

You can use curl to drive the framework. See the example below:

$ curl -s -X POST -H “Content-Type: application/json” -d ‘{ “task”: “create_entity”, “entity”: { “type”: “DnsRecord”, “attributes”: { “name”

Install Ubuntu 26.04: Bootable USB, Partitioning, and First Steps

Ubuntu 26.04 LTS "Resolute Raccoon" was released on April 23, 2026 with Linux kernel 7.0, GNOME desktop, and standard security support until April 2031. A clean install gives you a known-good starting point on new hardware, when replacing another operating system, or when an upgrade path is not practical.

Change Timezone on Ubuntu: timedatectl and Desktop GUI Guide

The correct timezone affects more than the clock on your screen. It drives cron job scheduling, systemd timer execution, log file timestamps, database record timing, and SSL certificate validity checks. A mismatched timezone can cause scheduled jobs to fire at the wrong hour and make log timestamps impossible to match with real-world events. This guide shows how to change timezone on Ubuntu using the timedatectl command (the recommended approach for servers and remote machines) and through the graphical Date & Time settings on desktop systems. The steps apply to all current Ubuntu releases including 24.04 and 26.04. <strong>Prerequisite:</strong>&nbsp;Only&nbsp;the&nbsp;root&nbsp;user&nbsp;or&nbsp;a&nbsp;user&nbsp;with&nbsp;sudo&nbsp;access&nbsp;can&nbsp;change&nbsp;the&nbsp;system&nbsp;timezone.
