It was such a pleasure chatting with Jane van Tienen and Kylie Pert from OSINT Combine on the Open Secret podcast. Huge thanks to both of you for taking the time to speak with me, and thanks to OSMOSIS Association for making the connection. open.spotify.com/episode/4iSc...

Honoured to be featured in the Economic Times The article, "Lies, now open sourced," explores how #OSINT is being used, and sometimes misused, in the context of conflicts like the recent India-Pakistan situation. Read the article: economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/india/l...

You just spent 3… maybe 6 hours capturing page after page, Only to find out your coworker already did it last night. Or worse — someone in another team captured it days ago, and no one told you. That’s why we built the History Awareness feature in Forensic OSINT.

I Started with a single news article: www.theregister.com/2024/11/27/t... In under 45 minutes, using @ShadowDragonIO's #Horizon & #SocialNet tools, I uncovered multiple locations frequently visited by the alleged Chinese spy and verified connections to the Chinese CCCP. #CyberIntel #OSINT.

The season of exploring, sharing, and learning is upon us! I compiled a small list with the best OSINT & cybersecurity advent calendars with prizes, team competitions, CTFs, live streams, and compelling storylines! Check them out on my new blog post 👇 gralhix.com/2024/11/30/t...

I have taken some time off lately, and utterly enjoyed it! But it was about time I did some writing again... No Week in #OSINT yet, but something else. Because I wanted to share my thoughts on what I call "black box OSINT" tools 👇 sector035.nl/articles/bla...

I need your help. I'd need software I can use to make, maintain, and publish to my team a Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) wiki/set of docs. Ideally, a few people could write the docs and then it gets published internally for all to read. Please share for reach....I'm open to your ideas! #osint

Anyone got some great #OSINT stuff they'd like to share with a big group of people in a big city this summer?
