Dive deep into the world of Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) and the power of publicly available information gathering and analysis. In this podcast we define and explain OSINT and how it differs from traditional intelligence methods. You’ll learn how OSINT is used to track Russian spies in Sweden, troop movements in Ukraine, investigate ISIS in Syria, and even predict banking collapses. We also cover the ethics of OSINT and how it can be used to combat disinformation and deep fakes. Plus, we explore the various uses of OSINT and who the customers paying for investigations are. You can watch the full OSINT Podcast on YouTube or listen wherever you get your podcasts! Please subscribe to The NDS Show and leave us your thoughts in the comments!
In this podcast Nico Dekens and David Wells join Nick in a masterclass for Open Source Intelligence. Gain insights into everything you ever wanted to know about OSINT and how you can leverage tools and techniques for investigations on your own, to save a few dollars when shopping, or to consume information with healthy skepticism.
