Vetting a Target Using OSINT

Open source intelligence provides a wealth of information when used judiciously. Proper vetting of a target through publicly available data reveals patterns, connections, and risk factors without raising alarms. This guide explains how to set clear objectives, leverage public databases, cross reference data points, document findings securely, and respect privacy limits. It focuses on responsible and effective collection of open information.

Information is power when used ethically. Define your boundaries, dig deep, and protect what you collect. OSINT is a scalpel, not a bludgeon.
