Some General OSINT Thoughts

Consider OPSEC before you start

  • your intelligence gathering is part of someone else's intelligence
  • use a clean image if creating admissable evidence
    • Michael Bazzell has an excellent guide for this in his OSINT Techniques book

Automate anything you can

  • build a simple API wrapper script
  • consider storing it in jupyter
  • at the very least, build a checklist/standard procedure to follow

Always keep your output

  • I prefer JSON/structured output formats, but you can parse it later
  • Consider storing everything in elastic/ELK
    • Newer versions of ES are really good at auto-mapping
    • curl -XPOST http://elk:9200/osint_dump_2022-09-15/_doc -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d @amass_out.json
