## Why This Exists
A surprising amount of global telemetry is already public:
- Aircraft ADS-B broadcasts
- Maritime AIS signals
- Satellite orbital data
- Earthquake sensors
- Environmental monitoring networks
This data is scattered across dozens of tools and APIs. ShadowBroker began as an experiment to see what the world looks like when these signals are combined into a single interface.
The project does not introduce new surveillance capabilities — it visualizes existing public datasets. It is fully open-source so anyone can audit exactly what data is accessed and how. No data is collected, stored, or transmitted beyond what is needed to render the dashboard in your browser.
