Do you need to go beyond OSINT in an investigation and transition into HUMINT? This blog post discusses developing and tailoring the right sock puppet persona for your target. Use it to gain your subject's trust and to collect crucial information. 👇 christina-lekati.medium.com/from-sock-pu...

Active sock puppets are designed to interact with targets. They are elaborate, involve higher risks & demand rigorous operational security. Still, they play a pivotal role in investigations when crucial information is unavailable through OSINT.

Differentiating Between Passive & Active Reconnaissance: 🌐Passive: Accessing publicly available information without direct interaction with a target or triggering security alerts 🌐Active: Involves engaging with a target directly. You become noticed and deal with higher risks.
