I am now working over 6 months in a CTI-role and have noticed that some things do not change. Keeping up with #OSINT and #CTI resources is always a challenge.

🔍 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?

#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? 🙂

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

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.

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.
