What is OSINT?
Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) refers to intelligence collected from publicly available sources — the internet, social media, public records, news media, and other accessible sources. OSINT tools help analysts and researchers gather, analyse, and correlate this information to generate actionable intelligence.
Why use OSINT tools?
OSINT tools streamline the intelligence gathering process. They automate data collection, visualise complex relationships, verify information, and uncover hidden connections that would be difficult or impossible to find manually.
How to get started
