Shadowbroker is the public GitHub name used by BigBodyCobain, the account that maintains the ShadowBroker open-source intelligence dashboard. The project brings public geographic signals into a self-hosted map interface.[1][2]

ShadowBroker combines data such as aircraft broadcasts, ship positions, satellite information, environmental observations, and public news in selectable map layers. A Next.js interface and Python backend separate presentation from data collection. The project also exposes an agent command channel so a connected assistant can search telemetry and manipulate the map. These are repository-documented capabilities rather than independent measurements of coverage or accuracy.[2]
Ideas
The repository describes a deployment controlled by its operator, with optional provider keys and reconnaissance requests handled on the backend. The useful starting point is understanding which data providers a deployment enables and what their signals actually represent. Aggregating public data does not make a map complete or establish the truth of every inferred event.[2]
