The list is cool and full of interesting things. But as someone who has done OSINT a lot for journalism and legal investigations and built tools for the space I can say that people rely most on custom internal tools or the simplest/ most popular tooling among the community!
- asdadsdad 4y agoI feel like most of OSINT is more manual than these lists lead to believe. Or if not, most of it relies on already-built massive archives or tools that scrape those archives.
- g147 4y agoabsolutely. it's just useful for a quick overview. real research happens when you keep digging where others haven't.
- anigbrowl 4y agoAgreed. This list is obviously tilted toward computer security; OSINT also targets nation states and political actors, and more often than not that's through non-technical means (ie looking for information carelessly left public rather than exploiting vulnerabilities to gain access to private information).
- realitygrill 4y agoWould you mind reaching out to me? I'm trying to learn more about how to do OSINT (with that particular slant!).
