Hello All,

I would like to build my own collection of tools for a small private information gathering lab.
 
All tips and pointers are welcome!

Depends on what information you want to gather... about people? about executables (for malware and shit)? about images?

I'm already creating such for web services. Tell us more about your project please. Otherwise we won't be able to help you.

Well, I want develop some basic capabilities so I can gather in depth information about a 'subject'.
From computer sources only search engines and mind mapping come to mind. To me this feels to labor intense. So I wonder about automation by using crawlers and data mining, but know nothing about this matter.
 
What would be the legal, smart and stealth way?

What you want to do is VERY hard if not impossible to create a specific tool for. Most companies doesn't advertise which people they have in their IT department. So I can't see how you will have any chance of gathering that, without social engineering. The other two is just as unrealistic to gather through a tool as the first one. I'm sorry bro, but I would give up on this project if I were you.

So best solution might be Kulverstukas'.

Thanks all!
So social engineering, public sources scraping and reverse engineering it is.
