Welcome to the first WhatsApp OSINT tool. This was developed in early 2019 but I decided to restart the project now for fun.

First, install requirements:

pip install -r requirements.txt

• You will need chromedriver, or you can modify the code and use GeckoDriver or any other drivers for Selenium.
• You will need a GUI to execute the code since it interacts with web.whatsapp.com to get statuses
• Replace the name in the file with whichever name you want to track

python3 whatsappbeacon.py --username <username_to_track> --language "<language_code>"

where language_code is either 'en' or 'es' for English and Spanish languages. Future language support will be added.

This tool was developed by myself in my free time. It's a tool that demonstrates the power of Selenium and web scraping. I don't endorse using this tool for stalking people or any other fraudulent purposes. If you have suggestions on how to expand or improve the functionality, please submit a PR and I'll gladly review changes
