Frequently Asked Questions

Intelligence Security is a professional OSINT (Open Source Intelligence) platform that enables security researchers, penetration testers, and investigators to search over 500 billion records from publicly disclosed data breaches and compromised credential databases. The platform provides five specialized intelligence tools: Breach Intel, Live Data, Credential Exposure, Session Intelligence, and Domain Reconnaissance.

Intelligence Security is designed for authorized security assessments and lawful purposes. Common use cases include checking your organization's domain for compromised employee credentials, authorized penetration testing, due diligence security assessments, and monitoring corporate credential exposure. Misuse for unauthorized access or illegal activity is strictly prohibited.

While Have I Been Pwned focuses on notifying users if their email appears in known breaches, Intelligence Security is a full OSINT platform with five specialized tools: Breach Intel (500B+ records with source attribution), Live Data (continuous breach data monitoring), Credential Exposure (reverse URL lookups), Session Intelligence (authentication exposure detection), and Domain Recon (subdomain enumeration). It also offers a Telegram bot, Excel export, and multi-language support.

Visit the Intelligence Security homepage and enter your email address in the free scan tool. The system searches over 500 billion records from publicly disclosed breaches and provides a risk score, the number of exposed credentials found, data source breakdown, and a preview of compromised accounts. No registration or credit card is required for the free daily scan.

Compromised credential databases are collections of login credentials that have been exposed through data breaches, security incidents, and information-stealing malware infections. These databases may contain usernames, passwords, email addresses, and other authentication data. Intelligence Security indexes these publicly disclosed databases to help security teams identify if their organization's accounts have been compromised, enabling proactive security response before exposed credentials can be misused.

When a device is compromised by malware, active authentication sessions may be exposed. These sessions can potentially be misused to access accounts without additional verification. Monitoring for session exposure helps security teams identify affected users, invalidate compromised sessions promptly, and enforce re-authentication. Intelligence Security's session monitoring tool helps organizations detect this type of exposure for their domains.

Breach Intel searches historical breach databases containing 500 billion+ records from disclosed data breaches. Live Data provides continuous monitoring of newly disclosed compromised credentials as they become available. Breach Intel gives you breadth across years of breach history, while Live Data gives you the most recent and actionable intelligence.

Domain reconnaissance discovers subdomains, email addresses, and URLs associated with a target domain. Enter any domain and the tool queries publicly available sources including DNS records, certificate transparency logs, and indexed data. Results help penetration testers map digital footprints and identify forgotten infrastructure, development servers, and internal tools.

Yes. Bug bounty hunters use Intelligence Security for reconnaissance: Domain Recon discovers subdomains and forgotten infrastructure, Breach Intel identifies exposed credentials for in-scope targets, and Live Data provides recently discovered compromised data associated with target domains. The platform helps map digital footprints efficiently, finding targets that other hunters miss.

The database is updated daily with newly discovered breach data and newly disclosed breaches. Live Data provides continuous updates from recently identified compromises. The Breach Intel database contains over 500 billion records accumulated over years, with new breach data added as it is discovered and processed.

Yes. Intelligence Security offers a free daily scan with no registration required. The free tier checks if your email or domain has been compromised across 500 billion+ records from publicly disclosed breaches. For security professionals who need full unredacted data, daily search credits, Excel export, and access to all five intelligence tools, paid plans start at $30 for 7 days.

Intelligence Security accepts cryptocurrency payments through NowPayments. Supported cryptocurrencies include Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), USDT (TRC20 and BEP20), and Litecoin (LTC).
