Welcome to the first WhatsApp OSINT tool. This was developed in early 2019 but I decided to restart the project now for fun.
First, install requirements:
pip install -r requirements.txt
- You will need chromedriver, or you can modify the code and use GeckoDriver or any other drivers for Selenium.
- You will need a GUI to execute the code since it interacts with web.whatsapp.com to get statuses
- Replace the name in the file with whichever name you want to track
python3 whatsappbeacon.py --username <username_to_track> --language "<language_code>"
where language_code is either 'en' or 'es' for English and Spanish languages. Future language support will be added.
This tool was developed by myself in my free time. It's a tool that demonstrates the power of Selenium and web scraping. I don't endorse using this tool for stalking people or any other fraudulent purposes. If you have suggestions on how to expand or improve the functionality, please submit a PR and I'll gladly review changes
- Added support for Portuguese, French, Deutsch and Català.
- Option implemented to stop tracking a user and change to another or to exit program.
