Autonomous cyber investigations

Start with an identifier. Get the connected evidence.

Enter an email, username, domain, URL, or crypto wallet. DefenceCore runs the OSINT workflow for you — it discovers where the identifier appears, follows connected public signals, and returns a sourced investigation with every match, relationship, and uncertainty ready for review. Built for fraud operations, trust and safety, and compliance teams.

Every result includes its supporting source and match reasoning.

Platform

One identifier in. A connected investigation out.

Replace scattered OSINT lookups and single-purpose enrichment tools with a structured map of exact matches, related signals, and supporting evidence.

01

Verify exact identifier matches

Find where an email, username, domain, or wallet appears and keep every match tied to its source.

02

Follow connected web signals

Pivot from the starting identifier to related handles, domains, accounts, infrastructure, and public mentions.

03

Build an evidence-led connection map

Separate verified links, possible connections, and unsupported assumptions in one reviewable investigation.

How it works

From a known identifier to reviewable evidence.

The agent runs the pivots. You see what connected, why it connected, and what remains uncertain.

  1. 01

    Start with one digital identifier

    Enter an email address, username, domain, URL, or crypto wallet already present in your case.

  2. 02

    Let the investigation follow the evidence

    DefenceCore checks exact appearances, discovers connected signals, and evaluates each potential link.

  3. 03

    Review a sourced investigation

    See the connection map, supporting sources, confidence, and unresolved questions in one workspace.

Use cases

Built for fraud, trust and safety, and compliance investigations.

Investigate suspicious accounts, wallets, domains, and digital infrastructure from one evidence-led workspace.

Fraud operations

Expand a suspicious email, username, domain, or wallet during signup and payment fraud triage, before escalating a case.

Trust and safety

Connect reused handles, public profiles, wallet records, and web mentions across abuse and impersonation reports, without assuming ownership.

KYC and compliance

Trace public website, domain, organization, and wallet signals when verifying a counterparty or clearing an alert.

OSINT and cyber research

Turn manual OSINT pivots across scattered tools into a structured, attributable evidence trail.

Free tools

Start with a free check, no account required.

Two public OSINT tools you can run right now — then open a full investigation when one identifier is not enough.

Crypto wallet screening

Free screening for Ethereum and Bitcoin addresses — sanctions, scam reports, and on-chain risk signals.

Screen a wallet address

Phone number reputation check

Free reputation check on any number — line type, carrier, origin, and fraud signals.

Evidence and trust

Designed to support judgment, not replace it.

DefenceCore keeps conclusions close to their supporting evidence and makes the limits of public-source research visible.

Evidence remains attached

Findings retain the public source and context used to support them.

Uncertainty remains visible

Possible matches, contradictions, and coverage limits remain explicit.

The investigator decides

A proposed connection can be reviewed, confirmed, or rejected by a human.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

A concise overview of how DefenceCore approaches public-source investigation.

What does DefenceCore investigate?

DefenceCore investigates digital identifiers: email addresses, usernames, domains, URLs, and crypto wallet addresses. It finds exact public appearances, follows connected signals, and organizes the results into one sourced investigation.

How does an autonomous cyber investigation work?

You enter one identifier already present in your case. The agent chooses relevant checks, follows useful findings into additional pivots, compares possible connections, and returns an evidence-led report. You do not have to manually search and combine results from multiple tools.

What identifiers can I start with?

Start with an email address, username, domain, URL, or supported crypto wallet address. A single identifier is enough to open an investigation.

What can DefenceCore find from an identifier?

Depending on the identifier and available evidence, DefenceCore can find exact web mentions, reused handles, related domains, public profiles, organization references, wallet intelligence records, and other connected identifiers. Coverage varies, and a missing result is not proof that no connection exists.

What's in a report?

A report includes the starting identifier, exact matches, a connection graph, risk or context signals, confidence assessments, unresolved questions, and the evidence supporting each finding.

Does a connection prove ownership or identity?

No. A shared handle, transaction, domain reference, or public mention can be an investigative lead without proving common ownership or real-world identity. DefenceCore keeps those distinctions visible and leaves confirmation to the investigator.

Who is DefenceCore for?

DefenceCore is built for cybersecurity, fraud operations, trust and safety, compliance, and open-source research teams conducting lawful, authorized investigations.

How is this different from single-purpose lookups or manual OSINT?

Manual OSINT means an analyst pivoting across a dozen tabs and stitching the results together by hand. Single-purpose lookup tools each return one slice from one data source and leave the correlation to you. DefenceCore runs the whole investigation — the pivots, the correlation, and the stitching — across multiple relevant sources, and returns one sourced report with evidence and uncertainty in a single workspace.

What does OSINT mean?

OSINT — open-source intelligence — is the practice of collecting and analyzing publicly available information to build a complete picture of an account, identifier, or piece of infrastructure. DefenceCore automates the OSINT workflow: instead of manually pivoting across sources, its agent gathers and correlates public appearances of an email, username, domain, URL, or crypto wallet into a single sourced investigation.

Is DefenceCore a people-search tool?

No. DefenceCore is available to verified organizations for fraud prevention and security investigations only. It is not a consumer reporting agency; reports may not be used for credit, employment, housing, or insurance decisions, and the platform does not support locating individuals.

Is the AI making the final decision?

No. Automation plans research steps and organizes findings, but it does not turn weak evidence into a confirmed fact. Investigators review the sources, confidence, and contradictions before deciding how to use a result.
