Pigfox

Updated September 14, 2026

Overview / Description

Pigfox is an AI-assisted OSINT toolkit that runs security and fraud-screening checks for job seekers, recruiters, and anyone verifying a person, image, or domain. It bundles four browser-based tools: Fake Recruiter Check, which scores whether a recruiter message is a real opening or a scam using public search-footprint signals; TraceCheck, which traces an email header end to end and shows every hop it took; Domain Recon, which pulls DNS, WHOIS, and mail records for a domain in one pass; and EXIF Metadata, which reveals the camera, location, and edit history hidden inside an image. Pigfox hits real infrastructure - DNS, WHOIS, TLS, and raw metadata - before any model reasons over the results, so its output is grounded in live evidence rather than guesswork. The tools run in-house with no subscription: text-based footprint checks are free and unlimited without an account, while the optional reverse-image photo check requires a free sign-in and is capped at three checks per account per 30 days before a paid tier applies. Privacy handling is explicit - an uploaded photo is held in memory only for the moments the reverse-image lookup needs it, never written to disk, and deleted within minutes; the check record is removed once the result is delivered. Pigfox is built for quickly vetting suspicious recruiter outreach, unfamiliar domains, and questionable images without creating an account or booking a sales call.

Cons

  • Reverse-image photo checks require a free account and are capped at three per account per 30 days before a paid tier applies
