OpenFOIA v2.0.0 — The Safety Layer

Everything from v1.0.0 plus a complete journalist safety toolkit.

New in v2.0.0

Entity Extraction (rewritten)

  • 4-tier extraction: LLM → GLiNER → spaCy → Regex
  • GLiNER zero-shot NER: pip install openfoia[ner] — 90% entity recall, runs on CPU, no API key
  • Local LLM (ollama llama3.2:3b): 100% recall on FOIA documents in 26 seconds
  • Relationship extraction at every tier (co-occurrence, syntactic parsing, LLM)
  • E2E test suite with realistic FOIA documents and ground truth

Security

  • Encrypted storage at rest (SQLCipher AES-256) — openfoia init --password
  • Forensic purge — openfoia purge --secure (3-pass overwrite, history scrub, free space fill)
  • Automatic metadata stripping on ingest (EXIF, PDF author, DOCX revision history)
  • Duress mode — second password opens a decoy database with harmless data

OSINT

  • Web archive ingestion via Tor — openfoia ingest --url <url> --tor
  • Public records adapters: OpenCorporates + SEC EDGAR — openfoia records search "Acme Corp"
  • Agentic Tor browsing via Playwright — openfoia browse <url> --tor

Deployment

  • Air-gapped deployment docs (Tails OS, encrypted USB, Qubes)
  • OPENFOIA_DATA_DIR env var for portable installs
