Bellingcat's Online Investigation Toolkit

bit.ly/bcattools | last update: August 2023

Welcome to Bellingcat’s freely available online open source investigation toolkit.

This toolkit includes satellite and mapping services, tools for verifying photos and videos, websites to archive web pages, and much more.

Follow Bellingcat's work via the website or through social media. We provide workshops to familiarize with these tools, and learn open source investigative methods.

We are currently in the process of updating this toolkit. If you have any feedback on the toolkit, please get in touch with Johanna Wild ([email protected])

Tools marked in yellow are the most used per category by Bellingcat.
