OSINT – The Most Comprehensive Guide on Open Source Intelligence

Imagine you’re solving a complex puzzle with pieces scattered across the vast landscape of the internet, some visible, others hidden deep within social media posts, databases, or even forgotten blogs. This is the essence of Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT).

At its core, OSINT is the science of collecting, analyzing, and using publicly available data to uncover hidden insights. Unlike traditional intelligence gathering, which relies on private or classified information, OSINT focuses on open sources, data freely accessible to the public, such as news articles, social media feeds, and government reports.
