Open source intelligence (OSINT) is the collection and analysis of data gathered from open sources (overt sources and publicly available information) to produce actionable intelligence.
The intention is to help people find free OSINT resources. Some of the sites included might require registration or offer more data for $$$, but you should be able to get at least a portion of the available information for no cost. I originally created this framework with an information security point of view.
Open-source intelligence (OSINT) is the process of gathering and analyzing publicly available information from sources such as social media accounts, government records and online directories.
Derived exclusively from publicly or commercially available information to address specific intelligence priorities, requirements or gaps, OSINT is vital to the agency’s mission – providing unique value and enabling all other intelligence collection disciplines.
Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) is the collection, analysis, and dissemination of information that is publicly available and legally accessible. Right now, OSINT is used by a organizations, including governments, businesses, and non-governmental organizations.
Opensourceintelligence (OSINT) is the process of identifying, harvesting, processing, analyzing, and reporting data obtained from publicly available sources for intelligence purposes.
Abstract This article challenges the perception of Open-SourceIntelligence (OSINT) as a revolutionary shift driven by the explosion of publicly accessible data. Instead, we argue that the rise of OSINT reflects an evolution of traditional intelligence practices: the collection, processing, analysis and dissemination of vast amounts of information.
