OSINT, or open source intelligence, is a method of gathering information from publicly available sources to gain knowledge and insights. It involves collecting data from various places like online government records, social media profiles, news articles and online search engines, and piecing it all together to get a more comprehensive understanding of a person, group or topic.
Open source intelligence (OSINT) refers to the practice of collecting information from publicly available and published sources, typically done by IT, cybersecurity or law enforcement professionals to understand trends, gather evidence and discover connections.
Because open source intelligence involves looking at information that is already available to the public, it does not require häçking or îllégâl activities. Rather, OSINT tools make it easier for users to wade through the countless data sources and documents that are out there in order to find the information they need and produce actionable insights.
