#TIL_OSINT the term Private Intelligence. I ofcourse knew both terms but together they make something that I thought exist but haven't realised it.

#TIL_OSINT that sometimes you don't need much to see more.

Adding ".json" to the URL and suddenly you can have much more information! But also, you have to learn what you see...

#TIL_OSINT how to use your superpowers (or reverse image search) to get rich (or almost rich)! You can win contests like: "What is in the picture? Answer below" on SM.
Pros: You can win a poster (like I did!)
Cons: You are reacting to the post, which is exactly what they want...

3. ???
4. Profit?

Retracing steps of your target to recieve same result might give you good insight of their personality and political views.

#TIL_OSINT that you can learn from hashtags. @aware_online posted "#postman" when describing #OSINT training for experts. So a quick search and I landed on last year tweet from @jakecreps https://t.co/0B8QhdZvyN and now I am reading about APIs and OSINT

The third #OSINT tool is @getpostman. I recently did a poll and 46% of OSINT professionals aren’t using/testing APIs in their workflow. Postman has streamlined my API testing/managing process. Start by importing a curl command from anywhere.

#TIL_OSINT that you can check strava maps without registration https://t.co/PVxI5e8wPj

I think it is impossible to post about OSINT and strava without mentioning strava giving up secret US bases. It might be most retold stories

What are your favourite well known #OSINT stories?

[Today I Learned OSINT @TIL_OSINT]

#TIL_OSINT that just like in life in OSINT also "good things come to an end". I am really sad to see that @OsintCurious project is coming to an end but I am grateful for all their work, devotion and energy which they put in popularization of OSINT https://t.co/tLLKRoU1xE :(

#TIL_OSINT that you can write like Hemingway. And I don't mean getting drunk and living with cats on Key West.

You can use https://t.co/EkIZAxgyk7 and get drunk/stay sober with cats/dogs anywhere you like!

Useful tool but you have to remember to use it (not like yours truly)!

#TIL_OSINT the insight about avatars:

“A good avatar is like an agent (...) you need to develop them like you would a real agent to be able to send them into the field or in this case to actually have the avatar engage with a target.”
