Designed and documented a secure environment for running Robin, an AI-powered dark web OSINT tool, inside a compartmentalized Qubes OS and Qubes-Whonix setup.
The environment was structured to separate research activity, Tor-routed traffic, sensitive credentials, untrusted content, and final reporting. Robin was deployed through Docker inside a dedicated research qube, with traffic routed through sys-whonix and sensitive notes stored separately in an offline vault qube. Disposable qubes were incorporated for opening potentially unsafe links and files.
The setup was built around security by compartmentalization rather than relying on a single tool for protection. Particular attention was given to Docker mount restrictions, credential hygiene, network-boundary verification, lawful research scope, and keeping raw research data isolated from personal or client environments.
The final result was a repeatable AI-assisted OSINT workflow that supports faster search refinement, result filtering, investigation summarization, and structured reporting while maintaining stronger operational security and clearer separation between collection, analysis, and final output.
