Open Source Intelligence (OSINT)

The Internet has become the largest repository of data in the history of humankind!

If one knows how to find, identify and use this data, it can be invaluable to forensic investigations, the reconnaissance phase of hacking and predicting critical events.  
 
In this section, we will explore a number of techniques and tools for gathering this data, as well as a few for analyzing it.
