Another repository I use quite a lot: https://alternativeto.net/

Looking for nautical maps and information for your #OSINT investigations?

Well, look no further and try this free resource.

Here's some of the books I intend to read or finish during the holidays. Not just #OSINT or #CyberSecurity.

Want to learn some basic Linux skills to help with your #OSINT investigations?

@cyb_detective got you covered.

Here's a great tool to assist in your #geolocation work

There is also a nice tutorial inside.

Besides OSINT, a lot of #OSINT, #GeoInt, #Socmint, etc., I do a few other side-activities. Instead of silly games, I practice daily with #Duolingo.

I guess I did a lot of Duolingo this year. Particularly proud of my streak: 826 consecutive days of Duolingo.

Finally found some time to go about these #geolocation challenges.

In der aktuellen Folge von OSINT Studio beleuchten Matthias Wilson und ich die Bedeutung moderner Technologien & sozialer Medien für digitale Sicherheit und Open Source Intelligence #OSINT. Darüber hinaus geben wir aber auch praktische Tipps, z.B. wie man Bing zur Suche weiterer Domains nutzen kann.

I have taken some time off lately, and utterly enjoyed it! But it was about time I did some writing again... No Week in #OSINT yet, but something else.

Because I wanted to share my thoughts on what I call "black box OSINT" tools 👇

This Monday only a few items, but a lengthy section aboud very important upcoming change within Chrome!

From the same project, try twint-zero

So, my day job is a mix of developing, investigations, osint, exploitation, automation, data engineering, data analysis visualization, etc

A bunch of fun stuff that I've been lucky to learn over the years and become sort of specialized in.

I'm now on a team that has quite a few junior analysts - brilliant at what they do. However, missing some technical skills and background that could really help elevate them and their effectiveness on the team.

I've formerly helped teach @jms_dot_py #automatingosint course.

I developed a course called "python for cyber investigators" for cyber investigators.

But, I'm really wondering about these analysts. They need something specific. I'm considering calling it "technical osint". Giving these employees exposure to some (at least) basic technical concepts and how osint intersects with it.

I spend a significant amount of time building tooling to enable me to do this type of analysis myself. To me that means its useful

What do you think? Is it worth helping others learn it?
