What is OSINT Technology ?
OSINT stands for Open Source Intelligence and this means collecting information from openly available sources online. This includes data mining, various crawling techniques, data extraction, data washing and analysis. Open Source Intelligence is the collection and analysis of information that is gathered from public, or open sources.
OSINT is primarily used in national security, law enforcement, and business intelligence functions and is of value to analysts who use non-sensitive intelligence in answering classified, unclassified, or proprietary intelligence requirements across the previous intelligence disciplines.
It’s not a secret that today it is difficult to find a person or organization that has no digital footprints at all. Open source intelligence OSINT refers to any data that can be gathered legally by using free, public sources such as online media or social networks, for instance. Using the Internet as a main tool, OSINT investigators track, collect and synthesize all digital footprints related to the topics or persons under investigation. They thoroughly compile all the available information to develop case reports. These reports are sufficiently substantiated to be presented as supporting evidence in the court of law, for insurance claims, corporate personnel inquiries, or any other purposes demanding a high level of legitimacy.
Open Source Intelligence sources can be divided up into six different categories of information flow :
Commercial Data - commercial imagery, financial and industrial assessments.
Media - print newspapers, magazines, radio and television from across and between countries.
Public Government Data - public government reports, budgets, hearings, telephone directories, press conferences, websites, and speeches.
Internet - online publications, blogs, discussion groups, citizen media (cell phone videos and user created content), YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.
Grey Literature - technical reports, preprints, patents, working papers, business documents, unpublished works and newsletters.
Professional and Academic Publications - information acquired from journals, conferences, symposia, academic papers, dissertations and theses.
