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

OSINT Techniques @osinttechniques.bsky.social · Aug 9

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.

Honoured to be featured in the Economic Times

The article, "Lies, now open sourced," explores how #OSINT is being used, and sometimes misused, in the context of conflicts like the recent India-Pakistan situation.

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.
