Open source intelligence (OSINT) relies on having ready access to data stored on the web and other public sites. No list of OSINT tools is perfect, nor is it likely to be complete. Indeed, such is the pace of change that by the time you read this document some of our suggestions may have been surpassed or have ceased to exist.

Open Source Intelligence Methods and Tools focuses on building a deep understanding of how to exploit open source intelligence (OSINT) techniques, methods, and tools to acquire information from publicly available online sources to support intelligence analysis.

Nowadays, OSINT is widely adopted by governments and intelligence services to conduct their investigations and fight against cyber crime.

Benefits
  • Huge amount of available information
  • High computing capacity
  • Big data and machine learning
  • Complementary types of data
  • Flexible purpose and wide scope
Many estimates show that 90 percent of useful information acquired by intelligence services comes from public sources (in other words, OSINT sources).
