Introduction to OSINT
Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) refers to the collection, analysis, and dissemination of information that is publicly available and legally accessible.
Core Techniques
- Social Media Intelligence (SOCMINT): Extracting metadata and tracking usage patterns.
- Dark Web Monitoring: Scanning illicit forums for breached credentials.
- Geospatial Analysis: Triangulating locations using EXIF data and satellite imagery.
This is a critical foundation for modern private investigations and corporate security.
