Run

TerminalAgent

Through ot mcp, an agent calls run_tool with this; ot asks you before anything that goes online or touches a target. Set it up: ot mcp install claude (or cursor, vscode, codex, gemini).

{"tool":"osintverse-community/gowitness","target":"https://example.com","input_type":"url"}

Or just say: "Run osintverse-community/gowitness on https://example.com with OTInstaller." The registry's read-only MCP server at api.otinstaller.com/mcp can find tools without installing anything.

ot run osintverse-community/gowitness url:https://example.com --format table

ot install osintverse-community/gowitness

Docker image in a read-only container · network allowed · no key · up to 5 min. The first ot run installs the tool after asking once. The example value is the registry's own test input, so this command has run. Drop --format table for JSON.

gowitness (community package)

This repository packages github.com/sensepost/gowitness for the OTInstaller Registry as osintverse-community/gowitness. The tool is the work of its authors, under the GPL-3.0 license; this repository only holds the manifest and release workflow.

Report problems with the tool upstream, and problems with the packaging here. If you maintain the upstream project and want to publish it yourself, open an issue or run ot claim osintverse-community/gowitness: the package is transferred to you.

The Dockerfile here builds the upstream release at a pinned version, and the otinstaller release workflow builds, signs and publishes the image.

The result is one JSON line per page with the screenshot embedded as base64 (--write-screenshots), because files written inside the container are discarded. The image uses Alpine's Chromium instead of the browser gowitness would otherwise download, and skips network logs and page HTML to keep the output small.

ot run osintverse-community/gowitness --url …

Packaged version: 3.2.2.

All url tools →

Alternatives to gowitness that also take an url; ot auto runs every installed one on the same value.
