For years, Archive.org has been one of the most valuable sites on the Internet, not only for OSINT research but also for various other tasks. Many others and I used it to archive copies of information that we found useful and trusted that it would be there for us when we needed it.
Archive.org has experienced various issues over the past several months, and while it’s still an undeniably helpful resource, some workflows would benefit from or even require having local copies of information available. There are numerous ways to accomplish this, but one that I’ve been playing with recently is ArchiveBox.
According to the ArchiveBox website, “ArchiveBox is a powerful, self-hosted internet archiving solution for collecting, saving, and viewing websites offline.”
Over the next few weeks, I plan to include blog posts showing basic usage of ArchiveBox and some “advanced” functionality.
