- Investigator OPSEC — threat-model who might notice you, control your attribution surface across IP, ASN, browser and TLS fingerprint, timing and logged-in accounts, separate research identity from… Use when setting up a research account, avoiding tipping off a subject, worrying about LinkedIn profile-view leakage, needing a burner phone or email, or hardening a research VM or browser profile.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Investigate without getting made Collection is bidirectional. Most investigators are burned not by a clever adversary but by a platform doing exactly what it advertises: telling the subject who looked at their profile, suggesting the investigator to the subject as someone they may know, or marking a story as viewed. The default failure is not a leaked IP address. It is being logged into a real account. ## Threat-model first OPSEC effort should be proportionate. Answer three questions before you spend a day building infrastructure — or before you decide you need none. 1. **Who might notice?** A dormant shell company, a moderately technical individual, a criminal group running monitored infrastructure, or a state service. Their capability sets the bar. 2. **What would they see?** Passive collection: a line in a server log. A logged-in visit: your name. An interaction: your persona and its history. 3. **What is the consequence?** Nothing, or evidence destroyed and accounts gone dark, or the investigation attributed to your organisation and disclosed, or physical risk to you or a source. | Situation | Proportionate posture | |---|---| …

How to install
mdr add tonydzi/second-brain-starter-kit/investigate-without-getting-made@sha256:fb38130efde0ba42The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261020.402f6b7, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
