What Is Geogramint?

Geogramint is an OSINT tool that uses Telegram's API to find nearby users and groups. Inspired by Tejado's Telegram Nearby Map, which is no longer maintained, it aims to provide a more user-friendly alternative.

Tejado's Telegram Nearby Map received every 25 seconds all nearby users with TDLib from Telegram and with three distances from three different points, it was possible to calculate the position of the nearby user. This is no longer possible, Telegram lowered the accuracy of the "People Nearby" function in february 2022.

Geogramint displays the approximate location of nearby users and groups according to Telegram. This means that you will only see results from 500m, 1km, 2km, etc.

What Is Geogramint For?

Geogramint can be used for open source intelligence (OSINT) investigations applied in conflict zones, dangerous areas, remote locations or sensitive facilities. According to Telegram, they have over 700 million monthly active users. Users and groups that enable Nearby can be detected by the tool.

Nowadays Telegram is used by many cybercriminals, terrorists, mercenaries and soldiers from different countries.

How Does Geogramint Accomplish Its Goal?

Geogramint does this by:

Takes coordinates from the OpenStreetMap interface.
Makes an API call using Telethon with the coordinates to get all nearby users and groups that have Proximity feature enabled.
Download all users and groups profile pictures, if available.
Displays the results and provides them in json format.

Geogramint does not use any kind of hacking or magic to get all this informations.
