TWEET-MACHINE (TM) : A Powerful Twitter OSINT Tool

TWEET-MACHINE (TM) is an innovative Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) tool designed specifically for Twitter. It enables users to retrieve deleted tweets and replies from any Twitter account, even if the account has been suspended.

This tool is particularly useful for researchers, journalists, and cybersecurity professionals who need to analyze historical Twitter data for investigative purposes.

The primary purpose of TWEET-MACHINE is to recover and archive tweets and replies that are no longer accessible on Twitter.

By leveraging web archives and other resources, it ensures that critical information is not lost, even if a user deletes their content or their account becomes suspended.

Features

Retrieve Deleted Tweets: Access tweets and replies that have been removed by the user.
Recover Suspended Account Data: Extract tweets and replies from accounts that are no longer active.
Timeline Generation: Create a chronological timeline of all tweets from a specific user.
Wayback Archive Links: Provide web archive links as a backup for inaccessible tweets.

TWEET-MACHINE utilizes Bash scripting and integrates with tools like Wayback Machine to retrieve archived data.

To install and use TWEET-MACHINE, follow these steps:

git clone https://github.com/0xcyberpj/tweet-machine.git && cd tweet-machine  
chmod +x tweetmachine.sh  
./tweetmachine.sh -u <username> -d <directory>

Example:

./tweetmachine.sh -u cyberpj1 -d /tmp
./tweetmachine.sh -u cyberpj1

<username>.txt: Contains direct links to tweets and replies.
<username>.txt.webarchive: Archive links of tweets via Wayback Machine (useful if direct links are unavailable).
<username>.txt-timeline.txt: Chronological timeline of all tweets.

For instance, if the Twitter account madangowri03 is suspended, TWEET-MACHINE retrieves every tweet and reply made by the user, along with backup links from the Wayback Machine. This ensures that no data is permanently lost.

Developed by P4UL and R4VANAN, TWEET-MACHINE is a valuable resource for OSINT investigations.

This tool should be used responsibly and ethically, adhering to applicable laws and regulations regarding data retrieval and privacy.
