🔍Open-source intelligence (OSINT)  is more than just Googling information. While a quick search may provide basic answers, it often lacks depth and completeness.

Let’s explore the "Introduction to OSINT" by Security Blue Team , along with additional resources gained from in-depth research.

When you’re picking an OSINT tool, you’ll likely have specific questions to ask based on your use case, team size and budget. But regardless of these factors, there are some key questions you should ask to determine if an OSINT tool will be right for you: ➡️ 1. Does it solve a problem you actually have? It’s easy to get distracted by flashy features and current trends. But it's important to step back and assess what problem this tool solves. Is it one your team is running into often? If so, would solving it have a substantial positive impact on investigations? If the answer to either of these is no, then it might be a good OSINT tool – but it’s probably not the right one for your team. ➡️ 2. Does it centre the investigator? Remember, the human investigator is the most important part of an investigation. Without their oversight, outcomes will be less accurate and less ethical. A good tool should recognise this and allow them to lead decision-making and analysis. ➡️ 3. Does it fit within your current processes? Although your processes might look different after you implement a new tool, it’s important to consider what impact it will have on investigative workflows. For example, does it allow you to access all the data you already use? If not, will your team still be able to get actionable results? #OSINT #OSINTTool #OSINTTips
