ShadowBroker is a real-time geospatial intelligence platform that aggregates live data from dozens of open-source intelligence feeds onto a unified dark-ops map interface. Built with Next.js and Python, it tracks aircraft, ships, satellites, earthquakes, conflict zones, CCTV networks, GPS jamming, and geopolitical events — all updating in real time.

Using data from OpenSky Network, adsb.lol, N2YO, and GDELT, the dashboard provides aviation tracking for 5,000+ commercial flights, private jets with owner identification, and military aircraft. Maritime tracking covers 25,000+ vessels via AIS WebSocket feeds. Space tracking monitors satellite positions with mission-type classification, while conflict monitoring aggregates ~1,000 global incidents from the past 8 hours.

The platform's surveillance capabilities include 2,000+ live traffic cameras from London, Austin, NYC, and Singapore, plus GPS jamming detection that identifies interference zones. Additional features include earthquake monitoring from USGS, financial market tickers, and a measurement tool for point-to-point distance calculation. Available as a pre-built download or developer setup, ShadowBroker represents a significant leap in accessible OSINT aggregation for analysts, researchers, and enthusiasts.
