OSINT Template Engine’s configurations are stored in json format in a ote.conf configuration file that is located in the installation folder of OTE.

You can easily modify the configuration values and save for the changes to take place. You can also easily reset the configurations to default values that come with OTE, any changes saved or reset will also reset the ote.conf file.

Engine Configurations

• Timeout:

Sets the maximum waiting duration in milliseconds for a request to elicit a response from the target server.

If checked (set to true), when maximum timeout is reached and there is no response from target server the request will be aborted and closed.

If unchecked (set to false), the request will remain active until it gets a response from server or until the 30 seconds threshold is reached.

• User Agent Header

Sets the User-Agent header for the network request. Some template sources do require each request to the server contain a user agent.

OTE User Agent - When checked the request will use the OSINT Template Engine’s custom agent name (preferred).

Random User Agent - When checked the request will use a random user agent from a list of common user agents.

• Accept Header

Sets the Accept header for the network request to specify the content type that is required. Some template sources uses this header value to determine the content type of the response to send back.

application/json for json application/xml for xml - When checked the engine will use the accept header’s values application/json for json result and application/xml for xml. This is the preffered mode.

all (*/*) - When checked the engine will use */* value for the accept header indicating that any filtype is accepted.
