Discover a compilation of remarkable open-source intelligence tools and resources with the Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) list. These tools are gathered from publicly accessible sources, as the "open" in the intelligence community refers to overt and widely accessible sources. According to the CIA, OSINT refers to information "drawn from publicly available material," including information meant for general consumption by professionals. OSINT is accessible to everyone, even without special knowledge or equipment, although it may contain sources only available to subscribers, such as newspaper content behind a paywall or subscription magazines. The CIA defines OSINT as including information collected from the internet, media, specialized magazines and surveys, photographs, and geospatial information. Most of these sources were used in research on Bellingcat MH17. OSINT representatives are not required to break into systems or use secret passwords to access data. Online social media profile viewing is considered OSINT, but it is not acceptable to use login information to learn personal information. In the context of intelligence services, OSINT is data derived from unclassified sources.
