Install fsociety on Linux in one command

fsociety is a menu-driven collection of recon, scanning, and exploitation tools. The OSINT entries wrap other projects in this registry; the rest is penetration-testing tooling.

fsociety in three lines

pipx install otinstaller
ot install fsociety
ot run fsociety -- d:example.com

Runs fsociety-team/fsociety (MIT, ★ 1.8k, otinstaller v0.0.4, registry updated Oct 13, 2026). otinstaller installs and runs it; it does not change or verify it.

Typed inputs for fsociety

otinstaller translates these prefixes into fsociety's own flags. Anything else after -- is passed through unchanged, so every original flag still works.

d:: domain · ot run fsociety -- d:example.com
u:: username · ot run fsociety -- u:jane_doe
e:: email · ot run fsociety -- e:jane@example.com

Run every installed tool that takes the same input at once: ot run --all d:example.com

Where the results go

Every run lands under ./results/fsociety/<target>/ as a timestamped output file plus a .meta.json sidecar: the exact command, start and end time, exit code, and the SHA-256 of the output. Group runs with --case, compare the last two with ot diff fsociety <target>, and pull indicators out with ot extract.

Before you run it

Interactive by design, so it does not fit --json pipelines. Much of it is offensive tooling: authorisation first.

Update, remove, inspect

ot info fsociety      # inputs, flags, keys
ot example fsociety   # sample output
ot update fsociety    # move to the next tested version
ot remove fsociety    # delete its virtualenv

Pairs with

secator

secator wraps dozens of recon and scanning tools behind one command with a shared output format, and runs them as tasks, workflows, or full scans.

SpiderFoot

SpiderFoot runs two hundred-odd modules against a domain, IP, email, or username and links what they return into one graph.

OpenOSINT

OpenOSINT is an agent-style tool: you describe what you want in a REPL and it chooses and runs lookups on usernames, emails, and domains.

FAQ

fsociety with otinstaller, answered

How do I install fsociety on Kali or Ubuntu?

Install otinstaller once with pipx install otinstaller, run ot init, then ot install fsociety. The tool lands in its own virtualenv under ~/.otinstaller/, pinned to a version that was tested on Ubuntu, so nothing touches your system Python. ot doctor flags a missing git or venv module.

Which inputs does fsociety take through otinstaller?

d: (domain), u: (username), e: (email). otinstaller maps each prefix to fsociety's own flag. Everything after -- that is not a typed input is passed through unchanged, so the original flags still work.

Where does otinstaller save fsociety results?

Under ./results/fsociety/<target>/ in the folder you run from, as a timestamped output file plus a .meta.json sidecar with the exact command, timing, exit code, and SHA-256. Add --case <name> to group runs, and ot diff fsociety <target> to compare the last two.

Does fsociety need an API key or a login?

No key is required for the basic run. Optional keys, where the project supports them, go in ~/.otinstaller/.env and are passed only to tools that declare them.

Can I run fsociety together with other tools?

Yes. ot run --all d:example.com runs every installed tool that accepts domain input, in parallel, including fsociety. Save the combination as a playbook to repeat it.
