Why it matters
Useful for **security researchers, journalists, OSINT analysts, and intelligence professionals who need a single dashboard for situational awareness** — Third Eye is the MIT production-grade OSINT platform with 16+ live data layers (aviation via OpenSky, maritime, 2,000+ traffic CCTV cameras, USGS earthquakes, NASA FIRMS fires, NOAA space weather, news broadcasts, sanctions via OpenSanctions) + RE
Who should use it
**Security researchers, journalists, OSINT analysts, and intelligence professionals who need a single dashboard for situational awareness** — Third Eye is the MIT production-grade OSINT platform with 16+ live data layers + RECON toolkit + Telegram OSINT, Next.js 16 + MapLibre GL WebGL-rendered dashboard, Docker / GHCR prebuilt, no API keys required for core layers**Teams that need real-time aviation tracking** — Aviation layer aggregates OpenSky Network data (Commercial, Private, Military, Jets) on a GPU-rendered WebGL map**Teams that need real-time seismic monitoring** — Seismic layer aggregates USGS Earthquake API for M2.5+ events**Teams that need real-time fire monitoring** — Fires layer aggregates NASA FIRMS hotspots**Teams that need real-time space weather** — Space layer aggregates NOAA SWPC solar weather + N2YO satellites**Teams that need real-time news streams** — News layer aggregates 25+ global broadcasters' 24/7 live streams**Teams that need sanctions screening** — Sanctions layer aggregates OpenSanctions (US OFAC SDN mirror) for full-text search across persons, organizations, vessels, and aircraft; auto-cross-checks WHOIS and IP intelligence results against OFAC SDN**Teams that need crypto wallet tracing** — Crypto layer aggregates blockstream.info (BTC) + Blockscout (ETH) for wallet lookup with OFAC SDN match**Teams that need a RECON toolkit for defensive security** — Port Scanner (TCP connect with service fingerprinting), DNS Lookup, WHOIS, SSL/TLS Inspector, IP Intelligence (geolocation + ASN + threat reputation), Vulnerability Scanner (CVE lookup against NVD)**Teams that need Telegram OSINT** — Geoparsed posts from public Telegram channels via the unauthenticated web preview (no Bot API token, no MTProto)**Teams that need a GPU-accelerated dashboard** — Next.js 16 + TypeScript 5 + MapLibre GL with WebGL rendering, 60fps performance with thousands of concurrent entities**Teams that need a Docker-deployable platform** — Prebuilt GHCR image (`ghcr.io/aiacos/third-eye:latest`) for one-command deploy; docker compose for local dev**Teams that need a self-hostable OSINT alternative to commercial platforms** — MIT licensed, plain MIT, no per-file carve-outs**Teams that need zero-key startup** — all core layers work out of the box with public, keyless APIsEvaluation: (1) **npm (2 minutes)** — `git clone https://github.com/eli-labz/Third-Eye.git && cd Third-Eye && npm install && npm run dev` (opens http://localhost:3000). (2) **Docker** — `git clone https://github.com/eli-labz/Third-Eye.git && cd Third-Eye && cp .env.template .env (optional) && docker compose up -d`. (3) **Prebuilt GHCR image** — `docker pull ghcr.io/aiacos/third-eye:latest && docker run -d -p 3000:3000 --env-file .env ghcr.io/aiacos/third-eye:latest`. For testing the aviation layer: open the dashboard, click the Aviation toggle, observe real-time flights over Europe / North America. For testing the seismic layer: click the Seismic toggle, observe USGS M2.5+ events over the last 24 hours. For testing the RECON toolkit: configure `SCANNER_URL` / `SCANNER_KEY` in `.env`, then test the port scanner on a target IP (do not scan unauthorized targets). For testing sanctions screening: enter a known OFAC-sanctioned entity in the search, confirm the cross-check against the SDN list. For the open-source status: plain MIT, simplifaisoul, no per-file carve-out. For the maturity caveat: at 882 stars and 12 forks, Third Eye is a relatively new project — fine for early adoption, monitor releases for stability. **Important risk caveat**: the RECON toolkit (port scanner, DNS, WHOIS, SSL/TLS, IP intelligence, CVE lookup) and the CCTV/Telegram aggregation layers carry inherent OSINT/RECON risk — users should comply with all applicable laws and regulations (CFAA, GDPR, computer-misuse laws in their jurisdiction) and the target's terms of service. The Telegram channel aggregation is sourced from the unauthenticated web preview, so it is functionally equivalent to viewing channels in a browser. The CCTV layer aggregates public traffic department cameras that are explicitly published for public consumption (TfL, WSDOT, Caltrans, NYC DOT, VicRoads). The RECON toolkit should only be used for defensive security research on systems you own or have explicit authorization to test

About this signal
eli-labz/Third-Eye is tracked by RepoRadar as a mit production-grade osint (open in the eli-labz/Third-Eye (MIT, simplifaisoul) is the O section. It was first seen on 2026-06-26 and last updated on 2026-06-26. The current verdict is 'try now' with a Silver tier and easy setup difficulty. The standout signals for eli-labz/Third-Eye are workflow potential (8.9) and setup ease (8.8), while momentum (7.0) trails — that balance shapes where it fits best. This page summarizes the evidence RepoRadar has captured from captured source metadata. The score, tier, risk label, and verdict on this page are never influenced by sponsorship, ads, or tips — they reflect only the usefulness, popularity, novelty, momentum, maturity, and evidence signals described in the RepoRadar methodology.
How this item is evaluated
RepoRadar assigned eli-labz/Third-Eye a composite score of 7.8 out of 10, placing it in the Silver tier. This score combines weighted sub-signals: usefulness (35%), novelty (18%), momentum (14%), maturity (10%), open-source/build quality (7%), evidence quality (6%), workflow potential (6%), and setup ease (4%). Popularity is tracked separately at 882.0 and never affects the composite score or tier. The risk label of 'medium' reflects inherent user-impacting hazards, not generic novelty. Items with no risk flag may still require normal code review before production use.
Risk explanation
**Important risk caveat (medium risk)**: the RECON toolkit (port scanner; DNS; WHOIS; SSL/TLS.
