Pigfox
Pigfox is a suite of free online tools built by Pigfox LLC, focusing on AI-engineered security, OSINT, and market research. The platform provides practical, evidence-based utilities that directly query real infrastructure—DNS, WHOIS, TLS, and raw metadata—before applying AI reasoning. Results are transparent and verifiable, ensuring that users can trust the signals. The toolset includes email trace analysis, domain reconnaissance, EXIF metadata extraction, fake recruiter detection, and a flagship business idea viability evaluator called Market Verdict. Pigfox also showcases experimental smart contract demos on Base Sepolia, featuring zero-knowledge escrow, RWA tokenization, and ZK KYC passes, all with auditable on-chain reasoning. Built primarily in Go, the platform emphasizes production-grade APIs and backend systems, organic SEO, and AI-augmented development. The tools are offered as a free, no-authentication-required web service, though a sign-in is available for additional features.
