OSINT or Community-generated Intelligence: A Thought Experiment Picture this: you grab your dashcam, deliberately drive through specific neighborhoods, and upload everything to Mapillary with the explicit intention that OSINT researchers will use it later. Are you...

🔍 OSINT is changing, and not just because of new tools or the rise of AI.

👉🏻Increasingly, there are shifts from passive collection to active creation of open source data. What does this mean for how we define our work?

#OSINT #intelligence

Maltego welcomes Hunchly to expand OSINT capabilities Together, Maltego and Hunchly bring investigators a stronger, more complete workflow by combining forensic evidence collection with advanced data analysis, enrichment, and monitoring.

#Maltego Technologies will be adding #Hunchly to their #OSINT ecosystem.

Maltego and Hunchly will work closely in the coming months, to ensure a smooth integration. Would this mean we will get a Maltego Capture or Maltego Collection? 🙂

EUVD European Vulnerability Database

ENISA just dropped the EU Vulnerability Database (EUVD), a central hub for vuln data, mandated by NIS2. Open access, actionable info, and support for open-source tools like Vulnerability-Lookup. Big move for EU cyber resilience.

Check it here: euvd.enisa.europa.eu

CISA just changed how it shares cyber alerts:

🚨 Only urgent threats on their Alerts page
📬 Routine stuff? Email & socials
🛠️ KEV? Use GovDelivery

Now’s a good time to check how you’re getting CISA alerts. Don’t miss the signal. #CyberThreatIntel #CISA #Infosec

Russian threat group COLDRIVER expands its targeting of Western officials to include the use of malware Threat Analysis Group sheds light on Russian threat COLDRIVER’s use of malware.

COLDRIVER just leveled up.

Google TAG says the Russian APT is now dropping Rust-based malware (SPICA) via fake PDFs + malicious LNK files in ZIPs. From phishing creds to custom malware—this is a serious pivot.

And @lautie.bsky.social mentioned bsvdl.fly.dev for downloading videos as well!

True, but tools come and go. It's good to know how it is done manually as well 😉

OSINT Quick Tips: That CashApp QR Code on The Web Might Actually Be Hiding a Profile Photo! If you do a lot of web-based OSINT research like I do, you’ve most likely conducted username searches using a powerful tool like that scurry out onto hundreds of websites in search of profile…

Been a while since I wrote an #OSINT blog, this one is a quick read on something I noticed recently while reviewing a CashApp profile on the web. Turned out there was more than meets the eye!

Representing DataExpert at InCyber Forum Europe in Lille these next few days.

Looking forward to the talks on #osint and #cybersecurity as well as meeting up with the community.

If you are there and want to grab une bière, send me a dm!

As mentioned on X, was great to see the #osint community working together on alternatives. This week is a nice hook from your side on the alternatives!

Google has fixed the broken filetype: and ext: operators.

#OSINT #google #booleansearch

Just tried it with the same site as you and I am getting no results. Tried some other sites like cnn.com with the site operator and filetype and it works.

Maybe it's still a bit buggy?

For me it works with the site: operator too. See example with cnn.com

I can confirm it is working again!

filetype:pdf is working again today

Google reached out to me and it appears to be a bug!

Update: filetype:txt and filetype:py seem to be unaffected for now.

See webbreacher's comment. I agree that prompts will be probably the new way to search in the future.

Just tested this one: "Show me all pdf files from domain "https://xxxx.xxxx" It gives some results at first, but then ends up giving results from different sites.

Prompt style seems to be working for the moment: "show me all pdf files with OSINT in them". H/t @webbreacher.com

Ur welcome! Love your 21day guides 👍🏻

ICYMI, nitter.net is 'dead'.

According to Zedeus, the cert has expired and he will not renew it. Source: tinyurl.com/5yja5t43

Alternative is Twiiit.com, a proxied Nitter instance.

Be mindful though of possible OPSEC risks when using a third-party website.

A big thank you to all of the students, OSINT- and other professionals, suppliers and all other wonderful people I have met, talked too, had fun with, or trained this past year!

Looking forward to what 2024 will bring.
