Podcasts about open source intelligence osint

The Iran conflict contains dueling narratives. Iran says it repelled the attack. Israel says it decimated the nuclear program. The US says it brokered peace. So, how do you find out what actually happened? That's where Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) can provide valuable information to the public.  Eliot Higgins built Bellingcat from a Leicester living room blog into the world's most influential open source intelligence organization. Sir Richard Dearlove and Rosanna Lockwood sit down with him to find out how OSINT cuts through the war of narratives on Iran, Ukraine, and the fronts nobody's covering. Plus: why AI is making the truth harder to find, not easier, and why Higgins won't set foot in the United States right now.

Our guest for this episode is Nico Dekens, a veteran practitioner of Open Source Intelligence (OSINT), cyber intelligence, and online investigations with 20+ years in Dutch law enforcement as an all-source intelligence analyst.  Now the owner of Dutch OSINT Guy Intelligence Services and Director of Intelligence & Collection Innovation at ShadowDragon, Dekens is widely known in the OSINT community as @Dutch_OsintGuy and as a co-founder of OSINTCurio.us.  He has trained thousands of government personnel, helped stand up OSINT units, and is recognized for blending operational experience with hands-on instruction as a SANS Instructor and Lead Author. In this interview, we focus on how OSINT is being operationalized, how analysts should think about trust and ethics in anonymous digital environments, and how emerging threats like AI-enabled manipulation are changing verification standards.  Listen as Mr. Dekens digs into collection innovation and what's actually changing at the tools-and-methods level and where Dekens thinks OSINT is headed strategically for government and security stakeholders.  

As Gaslit Nation has long warned: our institutions are complicit. Nazis infiltrate police departments, protecting an elite pedophile ring–protected by the FBI and DOJ. What can the American people do in a time of elite criminal impunity? Enter antifa. As investigative reporter Christopher Mathias reveals in his new book To Catch a Fascist, the solution is self-reliance and tenacious research skills.  As Mathias explains, antifa does exist, haunting Donald Trump's nightmares, and has been a force of resistance throughout American history. Antifa is part of a long tradition in America, composed of LGBTQ people, neurodivergent people, the working class, and other everyday Americans–operating in a hyper-localized decentralized network.  Mathias details how activists have unmasked neo-Nazis through Open Source Intelligence (OSINT), infiltrating online and offline groups, hacking, posting "meet your local Nazi" fliers in communities, and citizen investigative journalism. One researcher read 60,000 tweets just to find a single biographical detail to out a Nazi hiding in the dark.  As we'll cover in future episodes, antifa's strategies can also apply to outing Jeffrey Epstein's co-conspirators who think they can continue hiding from justice. Just as the NAACP's Walter White investigated lynchings in the 1920s when the police protected their friends in the Klan, citizen researchers can map the flight logs and financial ties of Trump and Epstein's friends. If the FBI and DOJ continue to protect billionaire lawlessness, we must create a social cost for corruption and predatory elites. If the Department of Justice won't unmask the villains, then it's up to us to do it. "We protect us" is the rallying cry of liberation movements, of neighbors helping neighbors against corruption and institutional failure that protects predators in power.

When Open Intelligence Becomes EntertainmentThere was a time when intelligence was secret, locked away in dossiers and government vaults. Today, the cameras never stop. Data streams from satellites, drones, traffic cams, and smartphones. Open Source Intelligence—OSINT—once meant careful analysis of public data. Now it's something else. Intelligence has turned into entertainment. OSINT has become OSENT.Ukraine and Gaza have become live-streamed conflicts. No need for classified reports—just open Twitter, Telegram, TikTok. Drone footage shows tanks erupting. Satellite images reveal troop movements. Civilians post bombed streets. Algorithms boost the shocking, not the true. War looks like a video game. Explosions loop. The audience cheers or scrolls for the next clip.Gaza follows the same script, but with sharper emotions. Images—crying children, collapsing buildings—arrive packaged to provoke outrage or sympathy. Israel curates footage to defend itself; Hamas curates footage to condemn. NGOs, aid workers, journalists—they're part of the drama. Suffering is real, but it's edited, filtered, and fed as content.OSINT was once a tool for accountability. Now it's a genre. After shootings, Reddit sleuths hunt for clues, often ruining lives. True crime podcasts turn open data into serialized dramas. YouTube analysts dissect satellite images for millions. The thrill isn't in facts—it's in the chase.This shift is clear in domestic policing. Body and dash cam footage, often public, fuels an entire content economy. Cop pull-overs, high-speed chases, and arrests rack up millions of views. Audiences watch for adrenaline, not justice. Cops did this decades ago, but now the feed is endless and raw.Crash cams feed the same hunger. Russian dash cams pioneered it—every accident online, every near miss a viral moment. Road rage, four-way stop failures, cars flipping end-over-end—it's bingeable. Crashes, like explosions, need no context. They just need to play.Before TikTok, there was WorldStarHipHop. WorldStar made fights, street chaos, and viral humiliation daily consumption. Violence became shareable; suffering became a spectator sport.Now, Ring cameras bring that ethos to suburbia. Every porch is a set, every delivery a scene. Porch pirates get tackled, Amazon drivers toss packages, neighbors scream. Millions watch Ring compilations. Security becomes entertainment.The difference with OSENT is participation. The audience doesn't just watch; they investigate. They geolocate strikes, identify suspects, connect dots. Sometimes they expose truth. Sometimes they ruin lives. Gamified investigation is addictive. Solving online feels like detective work—until the wrong person goes viral.Platforms love OSENT. YouTube monetizes chases. TikTok pushes Ring footage. Twitter feeds on war clips. Telegram channels collect donations. OSINT may help governments, but OSENT prints cash. And when spectacle is monetized, truth bends. Context disappears. Footage is edited for impact, not accuracy.This is the problem with OSENT: the show never ends. Intelligence used to conclude. OSENT loops. There's always another clip, another explosion, another chase. Wars stream. Crimes trend. Investigations play live.OSINT was meant to reveal truth. OSENT reveals feeling. Gaza bleeds, Ukraine burns, and the world watches—scrolling, sharing, consuming. The suffering is real. The feed is endless.Open-source intelligence has become open-source entertainment.The cameras never stop, the curtain never falls, and the show goes on.

Spydirbyte: Review of his official Biography, Hacker, Hero, or Legend in the Digital Shadowspydirbyte: An Analytical Biography of a Digital EnigmaThe digital landscape is populated by figures who, cloaked in anonymity, exert considerable influence, their actions echoing across networks and into the tangible world. "Spydirbyte" emerges as one such complex persona, a self-proclaimed hacker whose identity is intricately linked with the decentralized collective known as Anonymous. Understanding this individual necessitates a journey through fragmented digital footprints, self-disclosed narratives, and the broader context of hacktivism.   This examination is significantly shaped by the work of Alberto Daniel Hill, particularly his interview-driven biography, "SPYDIRBYTE: Echoes in the Code". Hill's initial direct interaction with Spydirbyte reportedly occurred during a Twitter Space on April 9th, 2025, focused on Anonymous cyber operations in Georgia. Spydirbyte's authoritative participation, offering technical insights and amplifying the operation's message, catalyzed a more intensive investigation by Hill. Hill's own foreword to his biography immediately frames Spydirbyte as a "compelling and unsettling individual," whose story is woven from "profound personal trauma, an unyielding and often violent thirst for what he perceives as justice, a formidable and largely self-taught technical prowess, and a deeply ambivalent, if not outright contemptuous, relationship with established legality and conventional morality". This initial characterization by the primary interviewer and biographer establishes a distinct interpretive lens, shaping how subsequent information is perceived. The strong, evaluative language and the highlighting of these specific traits—trauma, justice, skill, and amorality—at the outset guide the reader's understanding of the persona being constructed.   The present analysis endeavors to synthesize available information, drawing upon Spydirbyte's direct statements, including a written declaration and an extensive audio interview conducted by Hill, alongside data from an Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) report focusing on his online persona (primarily the Twitter/X account @spydirbyte) and his claimed involvement in Anonymous operations.   Given Spydirbyte's deliberate elusiveness, a traditional, empirically verifiable biography is inherently challenging, if not impossible, to construct. Instead, this document aims to illuminate the multifaceted contours of this digital operative by triangulating his self-narrative with observable digital footprints and contextual analysis of the hacktivist milieu. Spydirbyte's story, as presented, serves as a potent case study in the development of a modern digital operative, reflecting enduring themes of trauma, the pursuit of justice, the acquisition of technical prowess, and the intricate, often fraught, relationship with conventional morality in an increasingly interconnected age. His narrative is a reflection of the power, peril, and profound human complexities that define contemporary virtual existence.   Introduction

In dieser abschliessenden Folge der OSINT-Serie wagt Gregor Münch gemeinsam mit Giulia Canova den Blick über den Tellerrand – oder genauer: über das Ufer der Strafverfolgungsbehörden. Die scheinbar simple Frage „Darf die Staatsanwaltschaft googeln – oder gar ChatGPT nutzen?“ entpuppt sich als juristisch brisante Gratwanderung. Giulia Canova, wissenschaftliche Assistentin an der Universität St. Gallen und Doktorandin mit Fokus auf digitale Ermittlungen, erklärt, • wann Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) rechtlich zulässig ist, • welche Unterschiede zwischen manueller Google-Suche und automatisiertem Scraping bestehen • und wo biometrische Tools wie PIM-1 oder Clearview AI die Strafverfolgung rechtlich ins Wanken bringen. Was wie ein technisches Nischenthema klingt, betrifft Grundrechte, das Legalitätsprinzip und letztlich die Frage, ob Beweise überhaupt verwertbar sind. Diese Folge richtet sich an alle, die Strafverfahren ernst nehmen: Strafverteidigerinnen, Staatsanwälte, Richter – und jeden, der verstehen will, wie digitale Spuren juristisch wirken. Einschalten lohnt sich – denn wer OSINT sagt, muss auch Art. 13 BV sagen.

In dieser Folge spricht Gregor Münch erneut mit Martin Steiger – Anwalt, Datenschutzaktivist und OSINT-Experte – über digitale Recherchewerkzeuge, die Jurist:innen im Alltag unterstützen können. Wie findet man heraus, wem eine Domain gehört? Was verraten Metadaten in PDFs über die Entstehung eines Dokuments? Wie lässt sich ein Alibi mit Google Maps oder Street View plausibilisieren? Und welche rechtlichen Fragen stellen sich beim Einsatz von Tools wie PimEyes oder Clearview AI? Gregor und Martin beleuchten konkrete Anwendungsfelder von Open Source Intelligence: • Satelliten- und Verkehrsdaten zur Alibiprüfung • Rückwärtssuche von Bildern zur Verifizierung von Online-Inhalten • Analyse von Metadaten in PDFs und Bildern • Monitoring-Tools, Alerts und spezialisierte Suchmaschinen • Rechtliche Graubereiche bei Gesichtserkennung und Scraping. Diese Folge richtet sich an Anwält:innen, Ermittler:innen, Journalist:innen und alle, die wissen wollen, wie digitale Spuren zu belastbaren Beweismitteln werden – und warum technisches Verständnis heute zur juristischen Kernkompetenz gehört.

In a world increasingly defined by rapid information flow, interconnected risks, and complex decision-making, intelligence analysis has never been more critical—or challenging. In this second installment of our All Source miniseries, we are joined by Lieutenant General Guy Swan, U.S. Army (Retired) and President of Swan and Associates, LLC and Jason Lee, Industry Practice Lead at Moody's who explore how the skills and insights gained from leveraging intelligence in military decision making can be applied to private sector initiatives. Their discussion answers questions like: How can leaders prioritize decisions and address bias when dealing with overwhelming amounts data?What can the military and private sector teach each other about decision-making?How can Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) be leveraged in military and financial contexts?What strategies help organizations manage exponential and interconnected risks to ensure their plans are resilient to real-world challenges?How can AI and technology improve intelligence analysis while maintaining human judgment?Why do cultural differences and diversity of thought matter in intelligence analysis?For further information, check out the resources below: Department of Defense OSINT StrategyDepartment of Homeland Security websiteTo learn more about Moody's please visit our website or get in touch; we would love to hear from you. 

In einer zweiten Folge sprechen Gregor Münch und der Rechtsanwalt Martin Steiger über personenbezogene Daten, die frei zugänglich sind und oft nur noch erschlossen oder eingesehen werden müssen. Wo lassen sich Daten finden? Sie gehen diversen Datenquellen nach wie Handelsregisterämter, Grundbücher, eautoindex.ch oder bei Personenmeldeämtern. Vorgestellt wird auch die Wayback Machine von archive.org – ein Werkzeug, mit dem sich ältere Versionen von Websites wiederherstellen lassen. Zum Schluss diskutieren die beiden, was Chatbots wie ChatGPT im Rahmen von OSINT - Open Source Intelligence – leisten können und wo deren Grenzen liegen. Als Strafverteidiger erhält man Einblicke in die unglaublichsten Fälle und arbeitet eng mit sehr unterschiedlichen und spannenden Menschen zusammen. Im Podcast [Auf dem Weg als Anwält:in](https://www.duribonin.ch/podcast) versucht der Anwalt [Duri Bonin](https://www.duribonin.ch) gemeinsam mit seinen Gesprächspartnern (Beschuldigte, Verurteilte, Staatsanwälte, Strafverteidiger, Gutachter, Opfer, Unschuldige, Schuldige …) zu ergründen, wie diese ticken, was sie antreibt und wie sie das Rechtssystem erleben. Behandelt werden urmenschliche Themen. Bei genauerem Hinsehen findet man Antworten auf eigene Fragen des Lebens und der Gesellschaft.

Thema in diesem Podcast ist OSINT - Open Source Intelligence. Gemeint ist die Beschaffung, Auswertung und Nutzung öffentlich zugänglicher Informationen. Oft fehlt es Strafverteidigerinnen an Geld für private Ermittlungen. Gerade bei amtlicher Verteidigung werden solche Auslagen meist nicht vergütet. OSINT kann hier helfen: man muss nur wissen, wo die Informationen schlummern. Gregor Münch nähert sich mit dem Rechtsanwalt Martin Steiger dem Thema an, indem sie sich zuerst einmal fragen, was nicht erlaubt ist: Darf ich bspw. Passwörter geleakter Datenbanken nutzen? Wie ist es, wenn man ohne eigenes Zutun mitlesen kann – wie es kürzlich dem US-Journalisten Jeffrey Goldberg passiert ist? Goldberg, Chefredaktor des Magazins The Atlantic, wurde versehentlich in einen Gruppenchat auf Signal eingeladen, in dem Mitglieder der US-Regierung militärische Angriffe im Jemen planten. Er konnte sensible Informationen in Echtzeit mitlesen – darunter Details zu Zielen, eingesetzten Waffen und dem Zeitplan. Und was gilt, wenn man gegenüber Behörden falsche Angaben macht, etwa um einen Interessennachweis vorzutäuschen? Als Strafverteidiger erhält man Einblicke in die unglaublichsten Fälle und arbeitet eng mit sehr unterschiedlichen und spannenden Menschen zusammen.

With guests Dr. Oriol Caudevilla and Skip SchiphorstThe Green Belt and Road Initiative. Much has been said about the BRI, known in China as the One Belt One Road – and sometimes labelled the New Silk Road. A global infrastructure development strategy adopted by the Chinese government in 2013 to invest in more than 150 countries and international organizations, the scheme is composed of six urban development land corridors linked by road, rail, energy, and digital infrastructure, and the Maritime Silk Road linked by the development of ports.The idea was simple enough, transport raw materials to China while carrying its manufactured wares to participating nations.Dr. Oriol Caudevilla is a highly regarded voice on all things fintech. He fleshes out what he means by the “Green BRI” because on the surface, the concept seems almost seems counter intuitive as vast amounts of carbon/energy are expended to carry resources towards China and goods from it. As he points out, there are there green efficiencies and other benefits to be had from the BRI that will meaningfully impact the planet's climate.Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) and Non-English Language Online Research. Skip Schiphorst is course coordinator and an instructor for the Swiss-based firm I-Intelligence's Arabic, Russian and Chinese open-source intelligence courses. He shares the importance of being able to search for OSINT in languages other than English and how it has a direct application to lawyers, compliance officers and investigators in regional hubs like Hong Kong and Singapore – and the banking and financial institutions and multinational corporations they serve. As he emphasizes, it is often easier to navigate the internet in Chinese than English due to simplicity in structure of the former language.Skip describes what it was like to grow up in Switzerland as a young man of Dutch ancestry, his decision to join the Marines in 1997 and how his views on the world and the degree to which outside powers can use military force to change cultures and nations changed over the course of his service. He believes this to be the Asian century as many Western nations pursue more nativist and isolationist policies. He also talks about the value of OSINT and multi-lingual research for due diligence in a mergers and acquisitions context, as well as for know-your-customer searches in anti-money laundering, terrorist financing and sanctions compliance for banks.The Regulatory Ramblings podcast is brought to you by The University of Hong Kong's Reg/Tech Lab (Building Better Financial Systems), HKU-SCF FinTech Academy, Asia Global Institute, and HKU-edX Professional Certificate in FinTech, with support from HKU Law.

In der neuesten Episode von OSINT Studio widmen sich Samuel Lolagar und Matthias Wilson den spannenden, aber auch düsteren Facetten der digitalen Welt. Mit Themen, die von Deepfake-Pornografie über Sextortion bis hin zu Cyberkriminalität reichen, beleuchten die beiden Experten die Herausforderungen moderner Technologien und die Bedeutung von Open Source Intelligence (OSINT). Die Episode beginnt mit einem Blick auf die dunkle Seite von KI: gefälschte Inhalte, die für Erpressung und Mobbing genutzt werden, und die moralischen Fragen, die sich aus ihrer Verbreitung ergeben. Dabei gehen Samuel und Matthias auch auf Möglichkeiten ein, sich vor solchen Bedrohungen zu schützen – von digitaler Hygiene bis hin zu grundlegenden Recherche-Skills. Ein weiteres Highlight ist die Diskussion über Emojis und deren rechtliche Implikationen, angestoßen durch ein kurioses Urteil in Bayern. Die Moderatoren zeigen, wie selbst unscheinbare Kommunikationsmittel in die Welt von OSINT und digitalen Ermittlungen integriert werden können. Die Episode nimmt zudem größere gesellschaftliche Fragen in den Fokus: Vom Doxing von Verdächtigen und den Gefahren ungeprüfter Informationen bis hin zur Frage, ob KI-gesteuerte Accounts und Fake-Influencer die Zukunft sozialer Netzwerke prägen werden. Zum Abschluss werfen Samuel und Matthias einen Blick auf die neuesten Entwicklungen im Bereich Datenschutz – von versteckten Datenlecks bis hin zu den ethischen Fragen, die mit der Nutzung von Leak-Daten verbunden sind. Mit Beispielen wie Pokémon GO und dem Missbrauch von Standortdaten wird deutlich, wie wichtig es ist, die Mechanismen hinter den Apps zu kennen, die wir täglich nutzen.

Matthew Whitehead discusses leveraging open-source software (FOSS) to create an Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) visualization and analytics framework. The framework aims to analyze publicly available data for decision-making and threat assessment. Highlights

From cybercrime to fraud, the industry of organized crime is big business. Globally, it's measured in the trillions of dollars. In this episode of Privacy Files, we talk to a former FBI agent who spent his entire career working to put organized criminals behind bars. Inspired by his father's 38-year career with the NYPD, Ken Strange helped the American government combat terrorism, the cartels and global fraud. He summed up his heroic adventures in the book A Cop's Son: One G-Man's Fight Against Jihad, Global Fraud and the Cartels. Ken's career has taken him to more than 65 countries, resulting in countless lessons about life, culture and staying safe while surrounded by danger. As fascinating as his travels overseas were, his life back home in the United States wasn't too boring either, leading to encounters with Jodie Foster, Martin Sheen and Ray Bradbury. We cover many topics including online romance scams and the risks of sharing too much personal data online. Having employed many Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) techniques himself over the course of his law enforcement career, Ken is all too familiar with the growing problem of digital exhaust. While Ken says the federal government did an excellent job protecting his privacy and personal safety during his career, he admits most people are not so lucky and must take data and identity protection very seriously. This interview will give you a greater appreciation for the difficult job of fighting the increasingly sophisticated modern criminal.

In this episode of the Security Swarm Podcast, host Andy is joined by Romain Basset, the Director of Technology Strategy at Hornetsecurity. They're exploring the topic of Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) - what it is, how threat actors use it to launch effective attacks, and the dangers it poses.   Throughout the episode, they discuss the ease with which OSINT can gather information using AI and other tools and provide examples of how it can be used in phishing, business email compromise, and even deep fake attacks. The conversation also touches on the importance of privacy awareness and security awareness training to mitigate these threats.  Key Takeaways:  OSINT refers to publicly available information that threat actors can easily gather to launch targeted attacks. This includes social media profiles, online forums, data breach databases, and more.    Threat actors are using OSINT to not only target individuals, but also find vulnerabilities in organizations' web-facing software and infrastructure.    Combating OSINT-powered attacks requires a multi-pronged approach of improving privacy awareness and implementing robust security awareness training programs.  Timestamps:  (02:24) - Definition of OSINT  (07:17) - How AI makes OSINT-powered attacks easier  (15:22) - Using OSINT to target organizations  (25:35) - Mitigating OSINT-powered attacks  Episode Resources: Train your users with a personalised Security Awareness Service Business Email Compromise: The $43 Billion Scam

To learn more about this episode's guest Olivia Arnauts: https://www.linkedin.com/in/oliviaarnauts/ https://www.zfisolutions.com/ https://www.relentlessrevival.org/ In this episode... Most people are generally familiar with the work that private investigators do. But there is a specialization within this profession that few are aware of. In this episode of Privacy Files we talk to Olivia Arnauts, a licensed private investigator in the state of Texas. Olivia specializes in an area called Protective Intelligence, a subset of Executive Protection. In her role, Olivia typically serves high-profile clients where, among many jobs, she performs threat assessments to determine risk exposure to dangers such as identity theft and financial fraud. In short, a Protective Intelligence Agent is proactive in identifying, assessing and mitigating potential threats to a client. We talk about Olivia's early career as a Signals Intelligence Analyst in the Army and how that influenced her decision to transition into Protective Intelligence. Olivia talks about her typical client profile, from celebrities to high-profile business people to politicians. As we discussed in previous episodes of Privacy Files, people share so much personal information online that most bad actors can simply rely on Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) to conduct their nefarious work. Olivia explains how easy it is for her to find personal information, ranging from the embarrassing to data that could destroy someone's future if it fell into the wrong hands. We then cover some simple things you can do, whether you're a high-profile person or not, to reduce your digital footprint. We close out the episode by talking about Olivia's project to help human trafficking survivors. OUR SPONSORS: Anonyome Labs - Makers of MySudo and Sudo Platform.

Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) has been receiving a lot of press lately. There is so much data freely accessible online today that many experts say spy agencies like the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and the National Security Agency (NSA) should focus their research efforts on OSINT sources first, long before employing covert techniques like wiretapping or reading an adversary's mail. In other words, OSINT isn't just about stalkers and other bad actors using publicly-available information on you to do you harm. Today, OSINT is used by corporations and governments to track people and even predict the future. In this episode of Privacy Files, Brian Tillman (aka Mr. Metaverse) fills in for Sarah as co-host to help Rich make sense of the rapid rise of OSINT. Given the voluminous amounts of information the public is routinely sharing, how can corporations and governments leverage that data to make critical decisions? Rich kicks off the episode by briefly defining what OSINT really means and how your day-to-day online activities are leaving a data trail that feeds the OSINT machine. From predicting crime in America's largest cities to analyzing consumer app data to locate secret American military bases around the world, the power that OSINT harbors for society's future is just now being discovered. While OSINT has been around for decades, it really took off with the advent of the internet. And now with machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) making giant leaps in recent years, the ability to make sense of unimaginable amounts of data in minutes instead of days, weeks or months is altering the way militaries, governments and corporations solve problems. Just some examples of vectors where your personal data may be acquired include: facial recognition cameras, license plate readers, social media usage, cell phone location data sharing, and anytime you provide someone your email or phone number.

In this episode we discuss the curious non-Curial circus at which Jorge Mario was elected to an office he cannot validly hold by people who cannot validly elect anyone. Even more perplexing was the posthumous publication of the previous Pontiff that percolated onto the planet (in which practically nothing profound or precocious was proffered). Crazy and curious times indeed, but if you know where to search the path to Grace and salvation is as available as its always been! “For my part, in life, I no longer want to publish anything.

The Cognitive Crucible is a forum that presents different perspectives and emerging thought leadership related to the information environment. The opinions expressed by guests are their own, and do not necessarily reflect the views of or endorsement by the Information Professionals Association. During this episode, Eliot Jardines describes the world of Open Source Intelligence (OSINT), publicly available information (PAI), and why it matters to national security. Research Questions: Eliot suggests interested students and researchers take a look at the following questions: The growing prevalence of artificial intelligence (AI) content on social media and other publicly available information (PAI) sources represents a challenge for open-source intelligence (OSINT) practitioners – what new tradecraft (or tactics, techniques, and procedures) is required? Does the experiential nature of the virtual reality environment (such as Meta) differ sufficiently from traditional social media that different exploitation tradecraft (or tactics, techniques, and procedures) is needed?

Straight from the floor of GSX 2022, Don Sortor, Senior Vice President of Global Integrity, Inc, joins host Chuck Randolph to discuss the evolution of open source intelligence. There was a time in the security profession when practitioners were fed intelligence informing them about how to approach (or avoid) a threat. Fast forward a few decades and it's now evolved into an influx of information where it's hard to identify what is needed and how to get ahead. More importantly, the ability to manage information to maintain privacy has become one of the most challenging aspects of security. Don and Chuck discuss the rapid changes in managing Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) and share the unfortunate implications of turning a blind eye to such an important issue. The shift from actively finding information to preventing information from being discovered has changed the way we conduct business in our day-to-day lives. They discuss how to balance connecting with others online and protecting yourself, your family, and your business. They conclude with Don's insight on Global Integrity's latest product and how it's revolutionizing the privacy industry and how we communicate. Don has 30+ years in the security field. He is a subject matter expert in cyber and physical security having worked in the telecommunications, financial services, manufacturing, and defense industries. He is deeply skilled in managing security programs and bringing products and services to market. He is a Certified Fraud Examiner, a past member of the group of experts to the OECD on cryptography, a former chairman of I-4, and current Vice Chair of the ASIS Intellectual Property Protection Steering Committee and a member of the ASIS Critical Infrastructure Protection Committee. Don is a US Navy veteran.

Over the past few years, there's been a lot of talk about the value of understanding Open Source Intelligence (OSINT). But, even with so much talk, relatively few cybersecurity professionals have had the time to take a deep dive into the topic. In this episode, Perry sits down with social engineer, OSINT investigator, and member of the OSINT Curious project, Christina Lekati to get an overview of the value of OSINT as well as some basic techniques. After that, we hear from Chris Kirsch (co-founder and CEO of runZero). Chris is a former black badge winner at DEF CON's social engineering competition and served as a judge in the most recent competition. He recently released an interesting report analyzing the top OSINT sources and vishing (voice phishing via phone) pretexts from that competition.

Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) has matured considerably since the early 2000s. More data sources, better data bases, lower costs, increasing automation and processing all provide a wealth of data for analysts to get hold of. But exploiting all those sources requires a skilled team of tenacious people to provide the answers that are being sought, but also in checking that the veracity of the data. Peter talks to James Byrne, Director of the Open Source Intelligence and Analysis (OSIA) Research Group about constructing teams for OSINT work, the technicalities of OSINT, dealing with data overload, spoofing and fooling OSINT systems, and the future of Open Source Intelligence.

AFIO Now presents Eliot Jardines, former Assistant Deputy Director of National Intelligence for Open Source (ADDNI/OS).  In this episode, Jardines discusses Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) and how publicly available information can provide actionable intelligence and directly impact current events.
