Geogramint - OSINT Geolocalization tool for Telegram

GitHub

The End : 06/09/2024

Pavel Durov, the founder and CEO of Telegram, announced the discontinuation of the "People Nearby" feature. The feature has been non-functional for a week.

The removal of this feature means that Geogramint and other OSINT tools that utilize the API no longer work. As of today, this GitHub repository will be archived.

The popularity of Geogramint began with this Projet FOX article, where the tool's capabilities were demonstrated in action. It was also showcased at the International Cybersecurity Forum (FIC) in Lille, France, in 2023, which led to this Projet FOX article.

Geogramint was used by many journalists, investigators, OSINT practitioners, and others. I personally want to thank everyone who used the tool, and I hope Geogramint was helpful in your investigations!

About

Geogramint is an OSINT tool that uses Telegram's API to find nearby users and groups. Inspired by Tejado's Telegram Nearby Map, which is no longer maintained, it aims to provide a more user-friendly alternative.

Geogramint only finds Telegram users and groups which have activated the nearby feature. Per default it is deactivated.

The tool is fully supported on Windows and partially supported on Mac OS and Linux distributions.
