Record Pages

Vortimo saves all web pages you’ve visited locally on your hard drive – exactly how you saw them in your browser.

Using an unobtrusive control, you can switch recording on, off, or to manual recording mode. You can also toggle tag visibility.

Augmented Browsing

All text and images of pages are stored – but you can choose to tag & annotate specific elements for quick enrichment, reporting and recall.

Elements can be text, images or entire webpages and you can mark these right there in your browser without leaving the page you’re on.

Search

To find a page, Vortimo allows you to search by:

  • Time (when you’ve seen it)
  • Site (where you’ve seen it)
    • Both site and title of page
  • Free text search (what you’ve seen)
  • By object extracted (what)
  • By image
    • Free text Exif search
    • Image size

It’s important to understand that all of these control surfaces can be combined – for example ‘where on Twitter (site) is the name ‘’ (object) combined with the word ‘OSINT’ (free text search) seen in the last week (time) ?’

Recall Pages

Pages that have been recorded can be played back – exactly how they appeared when you visited them.

Recorded pages can be rendered as either PDF, PNG or as MHTML.

All elements can be exported for easy integration into other tools.

Scrape while you browse

Objects are extracted from all the pages that you’ve browsed – automatically. It’s generic parsing of the text – so it works everywhere. No need for complex recipes or regex code.

When selecting the object, the page and snippet where the object was found is shown in the main panel.

Enrichment

The objects extracted from the previous step can now be [enriched by links or widgets].

Widgets make API calls to popular service providers and enrich the data even further.

Links are just that – links to popular OSINT sites where you can find more information on the extracted object.

Reporting

Reports are organized by tag. Any element (object, image or URL)  can be tagged either in the UI or directly from the browser. This design means that you can add elements to your report at great speed.

Reports can be exported to PDF.

Who should use Vortimo?

Vortimo can be used by anyone that uses a browser to research a topic. This includes investigators that are profiling individuals or companies, intelligence analysts using open source intelligence (OSINT), IT security personnel or even academics doing domain specific research.

Vortimo organises information collected from your browser – so it does not matter if you’re browsing the web, using social networks or visiting your company’s intranet.
