: Q. How do you OSINT?
: mithindrail December 30, 2012, 05:00:17 PM
Hello All,


I am not sure where this belongs so I will just ask it here: What methods and sources do you use for OSINT? If no one knows what I mean - I mean foot printing targets and doing reconnaissance (before actual network mapping). I use Google Hacking, The Wayback Machine (to grab cached older material), Social Media (Silobreaker, recordedfuture, socialmention, whostalking, kurrently, covert contact, samepoint, etc), ROBTEX, InfoSniper, Maltego, Palantir, Casefile (Paterva) and I am trying to find the source code for a project called Swift River (https://swiftapp.com/welcome (https://swiftapp.com/welcome)). But the site isn't working for me.


Any input will help and I'd love to learn new ways of accomplishing the same end goal - elicit as much information from the Internet as possible about a target. Thanks ;-)

First off, i would suggest posting what OSINT stands for next time as it definitely adds to the quality of your post.

// for those who didnt know: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-source_intelligence

Second off, thats a shit ton of tools mate. The thing is though, they are all specialized tools for specialized jobs and your just kinda lumping them all together in a big ass name drop and I really don't understand what your asking for here. Are you asking for tools to help gather info? Or are you asking for the Swift River source code?

@Daemon,

Thank you for replying. I want to learn all about your personal methods for intelligence gathering (tools and techniques) but also how you analyze them and use them as leverage against the target. Once you gain raw intelligence - how do you personally act on it? And yes, I most definitely want the source code for swift river (site seems not to function).
