Overview

ShadowBroker is a powerful, open-source intelligence platform designed to aggregate and visualize global telemetry from over 60 real-time intelligence feeds. It provides a unified, dark-ops map interface for tracking a vast array of assets, from corporate and private jets to spy satellites and seismic events. Built with Next.js, MapLibre GL, and FastAPI, ShadowBroker runs entirely in your browser against a self-hosted backend, ensuring no user data is collected or transmitted. With its modular design and AI agent integration, ShadowBroker transforms scattered public signals into actionable, interconnected intelligence.

Key Features

• Unified Global View: Integrates real-time data from aircraft (ADS-B), ships (AIS), satellites, conflict zones, CCTV networks, GPS jamming, mesh radio nodes, police scanners, and breaking geopolitical events onto a single, dynamic map.
• AI Agent Integration: Connect an AI agent to parse data, uncover unseen correlations, and control the map interface for advanced analysis. Supports protocols like OpenClaw, Claude, GPT, and LangChain.
• Decentralized Communications (InfoNet): Features an experimental testnet for obfuscated messaging, peer-to-peer Dead Drop exchanges, and a built-in terminal CLI, all without requiring accounts or signup.
• Rich Geospatial Dossiers: Right-click on any point on Earth to access a detailed country profile, head-of-state information, and the latest Sentinel-2 satellite imagery.
• Extensive Data Layers: Over 35 toggleable data layers, including SAR ground-change detection for mm-scale deformation and flood extent analysis.
• Multiple Visual Modes: Switch between DEFAULT, SATELLITE, FLIR (thermal), NVG (night vision), and CRT (retro terminal) for diverse analytical perspectives.
• Real-Time Tracking: Monitor everything from Air Force One and billionaire superyachts to active wildfires, earthquakes, and internet-connected devices via Shodan integration.
• Local & Private Operation: Designed to run locally with a self-hosted backend, ensuring no telemetry or user data is ever sent to external servers.

Typical Use Cases

• Advanced Threat Analysis: Track military and private aircraft, naval vessels (including estimated aircraft carrier positions), and monitor conflict zones with real-time frontlines and air alerts.
• AI-Assisted Intelligence: Leverage AI agents to automatically identify patterns, anomalies, and correlations across vast, disparate datasets that would be impossible for human analysts to process manually.
• Situational Awareness: Gain a comprehensive understanding of global events by visualizing breaking news, seismic activity, environmental hazards, and infrastructure status on a single map.
• Investigative OSINT: Utilize Shodan integration to plot internet-connected devices, analyze satellite imagery for ground changes, and tune into live shortwave radio broadcasts directly from the dashboard.
• Decentralized Communication & Governance: Engage in experimental, obfuscated communication and explore the nascent Sovereign Shell governance economy for decentralized decision-making.
• Research & Academia: Aggregate and visualize complex geospatial data for academic research, policy analysis, or understanding global trends.
