What is Open Source intelligence?
You may be wondering what Open Source Intelligence means. Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) is a method by which you can produce information and intelligence based on data from public sources. This information from public sources can include texts, photos, videos, and audio recordings, but also phone numbers, email addresses, and social media accounts.
By effectively searching for data and analysing it correctly, you can suddenly have information that can be of added value in investigations into fraud, scams and criminal or even terrorist activities. The data you investigate are accessible to everyone, but you need to have the right knowledge, skills and OSINT tools to find them.
