Nebraska is an open-source intelligence (OSINT) tool. This community exists to build and improve tools for legitimate research, security analysis, and investigation. This code of conduct ensures that goal stays on track.
- Use Nebraska for legitimate purposes: security research, authorized penetration testing, journalism, academic research, or personal brand monitoring
- Respect privacy and applicable laws in your jurisdiction
- Report vulnerabilities responsibly
- Be constructive in discussions, issues, and pull requests
- Help others learn — many contributors come from non-technical backgrounds
- Using Nebraska to stalk, harass, or intimidate individuals
- Sharing results that expose private individuals without consent
- Promoting or facilitating illegal surveillance
- Harassment, threats, or personal attacks within the community
- Submitting code designed to bypass security protections or scrape private data
- Spam or self-promotion unrelated to the project
This code applies to all project spaces: GitHub issues, pull requests, discussions, and any communication channels associated with Nebraska.
Project maintainers may remove, edit, or reject contributions that violate this code. Repeated or severe violations may result in a temporary or permanent ban from the project.
If you witness or experience unacceptable behavior, contact the project maintainers through GitHub. All reports will be reviewed.
Nebraska queries only public information. But "public" does not mean "free from ethical consideration." Always think about the impact of your research on the people involved. Just because you can find something doesn't mean you should publish it.
