This week, Micah (@WebBreacher) and Christina (@ChristinaLekati), are joined by Robin (@NothicEye) to talk about this month's #OSINT News & Tools.
Our conversation started by focusing on the individuals that are wishing to enter the world of open-source intelligence not only as hobbyists but also, perhaps, as professionals. We talked about our latest blog post “Five tips to get you started in OSINT” in which 5 of our OSINT Curious members are sharing one quick tip each on getting started in this space.
Thinking of the ones who would like to start a career in OSINT or look for different opportunities, we moved on to discuss a series of new interviews that were posted last month in the OSINT Jobs website. The blog/interview series is called “What hiring managers are looking for” and draws from the perspectives of 6 different hiring managers in the OSINT industry. The questions in these interviews include "how can candidates stand out right away?" and "What does the recruitment process look like in your organization?" among other, many interesting questions.
Few things can help an OSINT practitioner develop their skills and broaden their perspective more than belonging to a small or large group or community. Robin (@NothicEye) who is also one of the moderators of the OSINT Curious Discord group, was able to share with us her observations from participating in OSINT-focused groups. She points out that smaller groups of practitioners can have a wide range of benefits.
Our team then moved on to discussing Nico Deken's (@dutch_osintguy) updates on his programmable search engine for people's digital business cards and social media details.
For the Geolocation fans we shared and discussed two resources:
1. Benjamin Strick's (@BenDoBrown) YouTube videos in which he goes through different tips, techniques and tools in geolocating visual elements. Last week, Benjamin started a new video series called "Let's Geolocate"
2. A Geolocation Cheat Sheet from @TheSEINT - a pretty detailed mind map with different elements that you can investigate when you analyze an image and try to geolocate it.
