Welcome back, aspiring investigators!

We recently updated our article on ShadowBroker, which a lot of you liked. The latest release brought some new features and made the dashboard even richer.

But ShadowBroker is resource intensive and might need you to allocate a good chunk of resources to your VM, which not all systems have. Instead, there’s Osiris and it can do similar things without any installation. You can run it in the browser or host it on your Kali. Both versions are identical.

Osiris

Osiris is a global intelligence dashboard that aggregates live flight tracking, CCTV, earthquake monitoring, conflict zone mapping and 24/7 news feeds. It’s made to give you situational awareness across multiple intelligence domains. The tool was built with Next.js 16 and MapLibre GL and every data point is rendered via WebGL for 60fps performance even with thousands of concurrent entities on screen.

Dashboard

Let’s start with the live version. It’s available here.

The world looks busy once you enable all the data layers on the left side of the screen.

Camera Feeds

There’s a huge number of cameras available around the world that are free to access. They are usually scattered across different websites and don’t look nearly as good as they do on a map. The dashboard has integrated a big number of them, marked with green dots on the map.

Here’s a camera in Toronto. Looks empty at 5 am.

Aircraft Tracking

All kinds of aircraft and maritime vehicles can be tracked. Not only that, you can do a deep dive on the intel available for each one. Below you can see we picked a random flight over the UAE and the dashboard pulled up the company it belongs to, Tim Clark who is the CEO and some publicly known information on him.

You can do similar things with other objects on the map.

So if you’re monitoring military activity in a certain region, that can come in handy.

Critical Infrastructure

There are different data assets you can display by clicking the database icon on the right side of the screen. The data is relevant for various places, but mostly for the US.

Above you can see the critical infrastructure in New York (red) and nationwide (yellow).

Conflicts and Dangerous Zones

Wars, tensions and threats are differentiated by color and notes are assigned to each with a severity level.

Market Analysis

When someone loses, someone else wins. Osiris can do some Market AI overview, which you obviously shouldn’t take as legit advice. But you can see it does some basic analysis and warns of potential price spikes.

Satellite Tracking

All kinds of satellites are available on the dashboard and they can also be tracked. Here you can see Starlink flying over the Atlantic and Canada.

Malware Threats

Finally, you can view malware threats and attacks on the map. There was a big node in China linked to a lot of attacks, with more scattered around the rest of the country.

Hosting Locally

Although the live version is stable and its uptime is good, you might still want to run it locally. It’s pretty easy to set up:

kali > sudo apt install npm
kali > git clone https://github.com/simplifaisoul/osiris.git
kali > cd osiris
kali > npm audit fix --force
kali > npm run dev

Then it’ll be available at http://localhost:3000

Summary

As you can see, there are different platforms available for different setups. Having compared the two, ShadowBroker looks richer and more professional, but Osiris hosts a live version you can use without any installation and it already has most of what you’d want to test. The installation itself is quick and easy and the dashboard consumes way fewer resources than ShadowBroker. Test it yourself and see what you like.

The post Open Source Intelligence (OSINT): Using Osiris for Global Intelligence first appeared on Hackers Arise.

Washington state is emerging as a key battleground in the national fight over whether federal commodities oversight allows prediction markets like Kalshi to override state gambling laws.

King County Superior Court Judge John McHale in Seattle sided with Washington Attorney General Nick Brown on July 20, granting a preliminary injunction and rejecting Kalshi’s core defense: that oversight by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission preempts state gambling law.

A check of the docket shows the case has escalated significantly since then. Kalshi has appealed to the Washington Court of Appeals, and asked McHale to pause his injunction pending that appeal.

Court records also indicate that former U.S. Acting Solicitor General Neal Katyal, Kalshi’s lead national counsel in similar state cases, is now representing the company in the Washington state case. The involvement of a lawyer with years of experience arguing before the U.S. Supreme Court signals that Kalshi is preparing for a serious appellate fight over federal preemption rules.

McHale has yet to rule on Kalshi’s stay motion or enter the operational terms of his injunction, which means the platform is still operational in the state nearly three weeks after his ruling.

Both sides have been pushing to shape McHale’s decision, submitting federal court rulings from other states for his consideration.

• In its filings, Kalshi has cited a July 27 Minnesota federal court order that blocked that state from enforcing a similar prediction-market ban.
• Washington countered on Aug. 5 by pointing out a Utah federal ruling against Kalshi, then followed on Aug. 7 with a Michigan federal ruling against Coinbase Financial Markets, which is trying to run its own prediction market.

McHale’s next ruling, expected in the coming days, should determine whether Kalshi will have to stop operating in Washington state while its appeal plays out.
