Work

WayTrace Demo, 1:46 Digging through a site's past via the Wayback Machine. “A useful, well-executed idea.” Craig Silverman, co-founder of Indicator

Give it a domain. WayTrace goes through the site's pages archived by the Wayback Machine and pulls out what was once published there: emails, phone numbers, names, subdomains, API keys left in the code, analytics and ad IDs, crypto wallets. In all, 48 types of information, each dated from first to last appearance and linked to the archived page it comes from. The site itself is never contacted. Free and open source.

Real case: the same rare ad account ID appeared on one site in 2014 and on another, with no apparent connection, in 2024. WayTrace found it on both, and that tied the two sites together.

RegulAIte, AI compliance agents A compliance expert that has read every document you have.

Give it internal policies and regulations, ask “are we DORA-compliant on third-party risk?”, and it returns a table: each requirement, the matching clause, the gap if there is one. Built end to end by a team of three, then taken from prototype to production at a CAC 40 company, on its own servers.

Writing

“Wayback Machine comme terrain d'enquête” MISC special issue no. 38, 2026, OSINT feature, in French

MISC is the leading French-language magazine on information security. In its OSINT special issue, I explain how WayTrace works and when to use it: recovering what a site deleted, dating a trace, linking two identities across web archives.
