How to start gather information in OSINT

Untitled Diagram drawio

Several stages in the OSINT search. Things to know and do:

  1. Know your search object, define variables for the search object e.g. name, company, information to search for
  2. Perform multiple data searches, such as you can do dorking or scrapping for data searches. You can also utilize data brokers to complete your data. After that, collect your data and prepare some comparative data as well as save some existing evidence
  3. Checking the information, is the object you are looking for correct? Chek some other variables such as, close friends for example or other information contained with your target, look and observe
  4. Validate, check some of the data you find for example from satellite data, existing datasets, sensor data and make sure there are 5W + 1H elements to get the essence and differentiation of the data object you are looking for, observe to make sure there are no differences and data manipulation (BIAS)
  5. If at the search stage you don't find or don't know the information, try checking back from the beginning of the sequence. For example, there is unique data that you found at the beginning of the search such as phone number, email, username, user id, region or country, height and other things, if you have found this unique data. Then try to search and narrow down the data based on that unique data, try searching in several data brokers or scrapping searches to find that unique data. After that, parse your data again, and look at the similarities and differences, after that analyze and observe again
  6. Once you have finished analyzing then, the mandatory thing you do is archive, this is very important for evidence of the data you collect. You can create your own program to archive or use a 3rd party to archive your data
  7. After that you make a report, make sure the report has an abstract, context, and the data you found and then your analysis, what do you analyze? What do you have? What do you know? What evidence did you get, the conclusion of your analysis
