These 2 mindsets have been key — one keeps you pointed in the right direction, the other keeps you moving forward.

In a recent talk, I shared career lessons on thriving in the OSINT space.

2 themes stood out from my journey:

1️⃣ Setting clear intentions and following them with action.
2️⃣ Letting consistency, not just motivation, be the driving force.

New #OSINT🧢

Verified!

It was such a pleasure chatting with Jane van Tienen and Kylie Pert from OSINT Combine on the Open Secret podcast. Huge thanks to both of you for taking the time to speak with me, and thanks to OSMOSIS Association for making the connection.

If it was captured last night, you might’ve just saved yourself half a day.
For teams handling live incidents or long-term investigations, this is a game-changer.

No more guessing. No more duplication. Just smarter collaboration across your team or org.

When you visit a page, you’ll instantly see:
✅ Whether it’s been captured before
✅ Who captured it
✅ When it was captured
✅ And you can instantly download the previous captures to review

If it was captured days ago, great, now you know it’s time to recapture.

You just spent 3… maybe 6 hours capturing page after page,
Only to find out your coworker already did it last night.

Or worse — someone in another team captured it days ago, and no one told you.

That’s why we built the History Awareness feature in Forensic OSINT.

About Black Box (CL)OSINT Tools Within the last decade or so I have the feeling that 'OSINT' simply has become a buzzword, and loads of companies and startups wan

I have taken some time off lately, and utterly enjoyed it! But it was about time I did some writing again... No Week in #OSINT yet, but something else.

Because I wanted to share my thoughts on what I call "black box OSINT" tools 👇

I need your help. I'd need software I can use to make, maintain, and publish to my team a Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) wiki/set of docs.

Ideally, a few people could write the docs and then it gets published internally for all to read.

Please share for reach....I'm open to your ideas! #osint
