Forgive me for being so dumb despite being on this website for so long. How do I download and install this program from github (macbook, no dev tools or terminal or anything on my computer)?
2. Download the zip file from the repo and unzip
3. Open a terminal windows and cd to the folder containing the README
4. Type docker-compose up
(Not tested. Just based on what's in the repo.)

You know what would be a great addition to this tool: A transparency panel/dashboard that shows any state organizations or LEO systems that are using it. List out all the IPs and countries that are state IPs using it.

I'm so sick of morons open sourcing abuse tools under the guise of "helping". This tool will be misused to abuse and harass more than anything else. Making these tools available to masses is dangerous.
What are "abuse tools"? Trying to suppress knowledge is never the answer. That would mean that only those in the know can either protect themselves or exploit others. The "never put information about yourself on the internet" mantra from before social media needs a comeback and it will not happen if no one shines a light on how easy it is to track people online.
For whatever reason, techies that are in the information discovery space can't help themselves from showing off how clever they are despite there being very real security risks to random bystanders.

Wait until you find out how HackerNews harvests your data, uses services that use data lakes of bulk collection to confirm your identity, and sell what you generate without your permission.
I'm still waiting to find out about that. Maybe you'd be kind enough to elaborate.
I’m not a fan. Kinda creepy.
