OSINT Open Source Intelligence.
OSINT, Open Source Intelligence, is the research, collection, analysis and reporting of all public information available on a specific target. Nowadays, we can find any kind of information on the Internet which can be really useful in many types of investigations. This information can help locate a missing person, find out the identity of a stalker, trap a murderer, evaluate a potential candidate for a job position and investigate an online scam or financial fraud.
OSINT started in 1941 by the United States military and, after many years of development, ended with the creation of the Open Source Enterprise, which is the OSINT Center that reunited the expertise of several US Agencies, including the CIA.
