DMitry vs Ghiro: Which OSINT Automation Tool tool is Best in 2025?

DMitry is a command-line utility included in Kali Linux for passive information gathering during penetration testing and ethical hacking. Written in C, it collects public data about a target host, including subdomains, email addresses, uptime information, open TCP ports, and whois details for domains and IP addresses. DMitry also retrieves Netcraft data, such as operating system and web server details. Its lightweight design, with a 50 KB installed size, makes it ideal for quick reconnaissance, reducing the need for multiple tools. Key features include customizable TCP port scanning with TTL settings, filtered port reporting, and banner grabbing.

Ghiro is an open-source, automated digital image forensics platform available for installation on Kali Linux, designed to analyze images, extract metadata, detect manipulations, and uncover hidden data. Developed by volunteers, Ghiro processes formats like JPEG, PNG, and TIFF, offering features such as Error Level Analysis (ELA), metadata extraction, and hash verification. With a web-based interface and support for case management, it’s ideal for forensic analysts, cybersecurity professionals, and ethical hackers conducting image authenticity investigations. Ghiro’s Virtual Appliance and Ubuntu-based setup simplify deployment, making it accessible for digital forensic labs.
