What is Phunter?

Phunter is a free, open-source OSINT tool written in Python that lets you look up various publicly available details using a phone number.

Is Phunter illegal?

The tool itself is open source and legal. It only looks up publicly available information. Using it to harass, stalk or target someone without a legitimate reason can break privacy laws and platform terms. Use it responsibly and only for authorized research.

How do I install it?

Clone the repo, then install the requirements: git clone https://github.com/N0rz3/Phunter.git && cd Phunter && pip3 install -r requirements.txt.

What format should the phone number be in?

Use the international format (country code plus the number, e.g. +12125551234). The tool expects a full international number to look up correctly.

What kind of info can it return?

Depending on the source, it can return basic line details such as the country, state/region and whether it is a landline or mobile number, along with any public data the selected source exposes.

Why did a lookup return nothing?

Some public sources are slow, rate-limited or temporarily unavailable. Try again after a moment, or run the target function which tends to give reliable basic line information.

Do I need any API keys?

Some sources may work out of the box, while others benefit from keys or configuration in the config.json file. Check the repo README for which sources need setup.

Is Phunter good for beginners?

Yes. It has a simple interactive menu and a single-file Python script, making it a friendly introduction to phone-number OSINT.
