Infosniper

Infosniper is an IP address geolocation and intelligence tool that provides location mapping, ISP details, ASN information, time zone, and host information for any IP address query. It presents results visually on a map alongside tabular data for quick comprehension.

For OSINT investigators, Infosniper serves as a reliable geolocation reference for IP addresses encountered during investigations. Its combination of visual map output and structured technical data makes it useful for both investigative analysis and for presenting findings to non-technical audiences.

The tool's clean data presentation separates geography (country, region, city, postal code, coordinates), network (ISP, ASN, connection type), and temporal (time zone) information into distinct sections, making it easy to extract specific data points for case documentation.

Time zone data from IP geolocation is an underutilized investigative resource. When a suspect's communication timestamps are known, comparing those times against the time zone of the suspect's apparent IP address can reveal inconsistencies — messages sent at times that would be unusually late or early for the apparent local time zone may suggest that the apparent location is not the actual location, or that messages are being sent through automated systems regardless of local time.

Infosniper's coordinate output (latitude and longitude) is directly usable in other geospatial tools — investigators can take the coordinates from an Infosniper query and plot them in Google Maps, OSINT mapping tools, or GIS software for further spatial analysis.

For fraud investigations with multiple suspect IPs, running each through Infosniper and mapping all coordinates simultaneously reveals the geographic distribution of the fraudulent infrastructure — whether concentrated in one region or distributed globally.
