Ignorant

🔍 A fast, reliable phone number OSINT tool

Ignorant allows you to check if a phone number is associated with accounts on various platforms like Amazon, Instagram, and Snapchat. This is a complete Rust port of the original Python tool, offering better performance, memory safety, and zero runtime dependencies.

⚠️ Important: This tool does not alert the target phone number and is designed for defensive security purposes and OSINT research.

• 🔴 [x] Rate limited or error occurred

Each result includes:

{
  "name": "instagram",
  "domain": "instagram.com",
  "method": "other",
  "frequent_rate_limit": false,
  "rate_limit": false,
  "exists": false
}

Running Tests

# Run all tests
cargo test

# Run with output
cargo test -- --nocapture

# Run specific module tests

🛡️ Rate Limiting

If you encounter rate limits:

• Use a VPN or proxy to change your IP address
• Increase the timeout with --timeout
