Investigation Workspace

Live graph intelligence

Drag entities from the palette, run transforms, and watch relationships materialise in real time. Each node type is colour-coded for instant recognition.

Force-directed graph with drag & link

Run transforms on any node

Colour-coded entity types

Results persist automatically to SQL Server

Live Data Enrichment

Run transforms on any entity to pull real intelligence from Shodan (IP lookups), Hunter.io (domain emails, email verification), and more. Results appear as new nodes instantly.

Interactive Graph Visualization

Force-directed graph powered by SmartGraph. Drag, link, and explore entity relationships visually. Each entity type is colour-coded for at-a-glance navigation.

Passive Reconnaissance

All intelligence is gathered through third-party APIs. No direct contact with the target - keeping your footprint invisible while building a comprehensive map.

Persistent Investigations

Every entity, relationship, and property is stored locally in SQL Server with stable IDs and timestamps. Open and continue investigations at any point.

UI Layer

FXML-based views with CSS styling and ViewLoader for scene management.

OSINT & Transform Layer

Modular registry of transforms. Add new data sources by implementing a single interface.

Graph Manager

SmartGraph wrapper handling node creation, styling per entity type, and layout physics.

Data Access

Repository pattern with JDBC. Atomic upsert operations preserve entity IDs and timestamps.
